Anatomy of the motor cortex
The motor cortex can be divided into six main parts:- the neocortex, composed of six layers: molecular, external granule, external pyramidal, internal granule, internal pyramidal, and multiform.
- the primary motor cortex (or M1), responsible for generating the neural impulses controlling execution of movement
- and the secondary motor cortices, including
- the posterior parietal cortex, responsible for transforming visual information into motor commands
- the premotor cortex, responsible for motor guidance of movement and control of proximal and trunk muscles of the body
- and the supplementary motor area (or SMA), responsible for planning and coordination of complex movements such as those requiring two hands. Read full entry

Benefits to crossed pathways Why are the pathways from the
sensory/motor cortex crossed
(left half of the brain
controls the right half of the
body). What is the benefit to
this archetecture?

I don't think there's any functional benefit that we can easily understand, other than allowing instructors to write confusing find-the-lesion test questions for students lol |

What is the success rate of I'm just wondering the success
rate of it, and any other
information about it.

It would be very difficult to determine a success rate for an individual person. I have included several sites that might be some help to you. http://facial-neuralgia.org/tr eatments/surgical/neurostimula tion.html http://www.aetna.com/cpb/medic al/data/300_399/0374.html http://brain.hastypastry.net/f orums/showthread.php?t=3162 http://www.umanitoba.ca/crania l_nerves/trigeminal_neuralgia/ manuscript/types.html Good luck with everything.pp |

What is a motor cortex, visual Where are they located?
what do they do?
in the simplest form of words
please!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Regions of the brain. Motor interprets movement Visual interprets things we see Auditory interprets things we hear Somatosensory interprets things we touch |
