Motor Association Cortex: Supplementary Motor area/ Pre-sup Flashcards
1
Q
Supplementary motor area mediates what?
A
Sequenced movements: when one movement serves as cue for the next movement
2
Q
Re. sup motor area, animal research show
A
activation of supplementary motor area when making a sequence of movements but not when responding to an external cue
3
Q
Re. sup motor area, inactivation of SMA with TMS
A
interferes with animals and humans ability to execute a sequence of movements they have learned
4
Q
Pre-sup motor are: Electrical stim produces what?
A
Urge to move
5
Q
Re. pre-sup motor area: Activity occurs….before subject’s reported….
A
2-3 seconds before decision to move
6
Q
Pre-SMA appears to be important in
A
intention to make a movement
