Traditionally, scientists thought the motor system operated in
top-down manner (hierarchically) 1 visual ctx at top
sensory processing thought to proceed
bottom-up, built up from fragments
sensory association areas
parietal lobes, basal ganglia, cerebellum
secondary motor ctx
supplementary motor area, premotor area (PMA) and cingulate motor area (CMA)
motor output travels from
motor areas to internal capsule, through spinal cord to muscles
damage to cotor ctx results in
hemiplegia (loss of voluntary movement on opposite side of body often caused by MCA stroke)
supplementary motor area (SMA) or medial premotor ctx fxn
planner of motor sequences, organization, sequential timing of movements, and intention to move
SMA recieves input from
posterior patietal association area, somatorsenosry strip, secondary somatorsenosry areas, and basal ganglia, and cerebellum, and premotor area (PMA)
SMA outputs to
bilateral primary motor ctx, basal ganaglia, and cerebellum
Electrical microstimulation of SMA causes
urge to move, bilateral movements of multiple muscles
premotor area (PMA) role
externally cued motor planning, sequencing and movement readiness
premotor area (PMA) location
lateral to SMA
premotor area (PMA) inputs from
posterior parietal areas,secondary somatosensory areas, more cerebullum input than SMA
PMA has reciprical inputs with
SMA
PMA projects to
primary motor ctx, reticular formation
cingulate motor area (CMA) role
role in emotion and motivantional impulse for movement
impetus
impulse
cingulate motor area (CMA) location
medial infolding of the frontal cingulate gyrus
cingulate motor area (CMA) projections
spinal cord, primary motor area
damage to cingulate motor area (CMA)
lose of spontaneous motor activity
SMA and anterior cingulate together
semantic premotor processing, intiation of speech
additional motor processing areas and inputs
posterior patietal lobes and dorsolateral prefrontal ctx/ inputs from somatosensory ctx vestibular system and visual system
posterior areas of parietal lobes important in
coordination of spatial mapping with motor programming
sensory info travels to supplementary and premotor ctx regarding
spatial postion of body and objects
dorsolateral prefrontal ctx fxn and inputs
initiation of motor behavior and executrive programming for movement w/ inputs from basal ganglia
dominant hand usually
10% faster and stronger than nondominant hand
males perform better on/ females perform better on
pure speed tests/ coordinated speed tests
akinesia
difficulty initiating and maintaining behavior
motor perseveration
difficulty stopping behavior
defective response inhibiton
motor response when it is not wanted
Apraxia
absense of action
limb-kinetic (ideokinetic) apraxia/ structures involved
problem executing precise, independent movements/ coritcospinal tract, basal ganglia, and pre-motor ctx, frontoparietal citrucit
myelinization of corticospinal tract during development
gross- to fine- motor control
ideomotor apraxia
execution of idea of movement impaired/ lesions to L parietal lobes (purposeful movements)
conceptual apraxia
knowledge of action lost/ loss of semantic knowledge seen in Alzheimers dementia
dissociation apraxia (formerly ideational apraxia)
impairment in action sequences/ frontal lobe damage (dissociation of action programs from language)
cerebellum
seamless coordination, unconscious flow, reflex, voluntary, and timing of movements, sequential learning, can differentiate movement freqency at 1/1000 of a second. Aids in posture, balance, and muscle tone.
cerebellum lesions cause
jerky movements, intention tremor (tremor when moving)
Tourette's syndrome, Parkinson's (substantia nigra), Huntington's (caudate) all are
movement disorders caused by basal ganglia damage
