Q

F5 neurons fire with the ____ not the ___

A

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.

Q

Neural components for reaching for an object - summary

A

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

23
Q

receives the sensory information required to move (particularly f4 and f5 - the ventral parts)

A

premotor cortex

24
Q

dorsal part applies the rules that determine whether it is appropriate to move

A

premotor cortex

25
Q

identifies the intent of motion and decides what motion to produce

A

premotor cortex

26
Q

supplementary cortex divisions (2)

A

supplementary motor area=SMA= postural control

presupplementary area =preSMA=plans the motor program, required to make the action occur

27
Q

organizes motor sequences

A

supplementary motor cortex

28
Q

acquire motor skills

A

supplementary motor cortex

29
Q

executive control (particularly the decision to switch actions /strategies)

A

supplementary cortex

30
Q

primary motor cortex - description

A

precentral gyrus
controls specific movements
regions of the body that do fine motions have proportionally high representation
arranged in columns

31
Q

primary motor cortex stimulation of neurons

A

stimulation of any gien column produces a specific movement

if we are in an area that controls a more general motion, simulation may produce contraction of a GROUP of muscles

32
Q

primary motor cortex - layer 4 receives

A

sensory input (mm and joint proprioceptors, among others)

33
Q

primary motor cortex - layer 5

A

output for corticospinal (pyramidal ) pathway

34
Q

primary motor cortex - two sets of neurons in each column

A

one to start the motion

one to maintain it as long as necessary

35
Q

primary motor cortex - neighboring columns control

A

related motions, not neighboring muscles

36
Q

primary motor cortex - two KINDS of columns

A

on/off for agonist m

off/on for antagonist muscle

37
Q

each individual motion required to grab and object war coded for by

A

a column in the primary motor cortex

38
Q

premotor cortex

A

determine whether it is okay to move

identifies the goal and the motion required to meet that goal

39
Q

supplementary motor cortex

A

identifies specific motor sequins required
changes tactics if necessary
