The motor system includes feedback loop pathways among the
Answer 3
Cerebellum, brainstem, thalamus, pons, and basal ganglia
What are the parts of the substantia nigra
Pars compacta
pars reticulata
pars = component/part
Parts of the globus pallidus
External and internal (eGP and iGP)
To look at insula, must remove
Uncus
Function of insula
-important in [balance?], what we value what we engage with (eg how you react to coffee if you like it or not is different)
Primary motor cortex
Answer 8
Connects with cerebellum, basal ganglia, thalamus (motor nuclei), secondary motor cortex

Lesions are area specific (paralysis, weakness of limb, body movement)
Secondary motor cortex
Integration of motor skills and learned motor programs
Supplemental motor areas
-involved in arousal level, initiation, triggering of responses
-face motor area
-motor organizationg and patterning of speech (discrupts production of speech, multiple kinds of defecits (stuttering, speech rate changes, word formation)
Prefrontal motor areas, recieves info from ____
-Where posterior info comes:
-> 2/3 is from posterior tertiary areas
Where are motor axons located in the spinal cord?
Answer 12
Upper motor neurons
-INITIATE IN CORTEX, mostly in layer 5
-carry motor system outputs from cortex to lower motor neurons in the brainstem and spinal cord
Lower Motor neurons
Synapse with upper mostor neurons in the brain stem or spinal cord and project to peripheral muscles
Lateral motor systems control
Upper and lower limbs
