Brain Cortical Areas
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| pre frontal coretex | responds to lights, noises, and other sensory signals that lead to movement. calculates predictable outcomes of actions and plans movement |
| pre motor cortex | active during the preparation of movement and integrates information for body position & posture and organizes the direction of movement |
| supplementarymotor cortex | organizes rapid sequence of movement in a specific order and active seconds before the movemnet |
| primary motor cortex | axons from the pre-central gyrus connect to the brain stem and spinal cord, which generate impulses that control muscles. active when people intend a movemnt |
| somatosensory cortex | provides sensory information important for movement |
| post parietal cortex | keeps track of body position relative to the world and is important for planning movement |
