Motor Control - Voluntary Control Flashcards
name the several areas associates with the production of voluntary movement
primary motor cortex supplementary motor cortex premotor cortez prefrontal crotex parietal cortex
reaching and grasping are
two different movements that require two different inds of visual information, which the brain handles differently
reaching - relation to visual inputs
higher processing of visual inputs
dorsal pathway from occipital cortex to the parietal?frontal cortex allows us to complete motor acts based on visual input
you need information about an object;s location in relation to your body in order to
reach effectively
from the visual cortex, information is relayed to what motor areas
parietaly cortex, specifically V6A, PEC MIP and VIP
The end result of sending visual information to the parietal cortex
the VIP creates a rough map of the pace around you, including the object you’re reaching for
from the VIP information is sent where
f4 within the premotor cortex
the end result of sending visual information to f4 premotor
F4 creates a detailed map of the space around you,
neurons here are particularly excited by proximity
second pathway to use visual information and convert to motor - relies on the
superior parietal cortex
the superior parietal cortex receives
visual information about where your arm is in space, since that;s what;s moving
information about where your arm is in space is sent to
superior parietal cortex to F2 in the premotor cortex
end result of sending visual information to F2
F2 constructs a related map but it is of where your arm is in relationship to your body and the things around you
visual cues for grasping
dependant on the purpose of your action
anterior intraparietal area and PFG contain neurons that respond to seeing an object to grasp
visually dominant
anterior intraparietal area and PFG are parts of the
inferior parietal cortex
the anterior intraparietal area dn PFG also contains a set of neurons that are actie when grasping the object =
motor dominant
the anterior intraparietal area dn PFG also contains a set of neurons that are active that respond to seeing the object to grasp AND when grasping
visuomotor neurons
anterior intraparietal area and pfg relay enformation to
F5
F5 neurons fire with the ____ not the ___
goal (purpose)
motor act
so the f5 neurons are likely active in two setting where the goal is the same, even if the motor action is very different.
Neural components for reaching for an object - summary
need visual map of object in relation to you
primary visual cortex (via dorsal pathway)–>VIP creates map–> relays to F4, which creates a detailed map
parallel pathway creates a map of where your ARM is in relation to you, using superior parietal cortex–> F2
Neural components for grasp - summary
areas of the inferior parietal cortex realty information to F5–> f5 condos the GOAL of the action
Grasping inputs and reching inputs are then sent on to be turned into
motion
