Answer 2

motor programming and gait

Answer 3

The central sulcus on the parietal lobe side

Question 4

The primary motor cortex is in which sulcus, as part of which lobe?

Answer 4

Central sulcus, on the frontal lobe side

Question 5

Which 4 techniques fall under the neuromonitoring approach?

Answer 6

EEG, MEG, fMRI single cell recording

Question 7

lobe and the lateral surface of

throat, hand, arm &
speech areas)?

Answer 7

Middle Cerebral Artery

Question 8

occipital lobes?

Answer 8
