|
Where is the motor cortex (M1)? |
Divides the frontal and parietal lobes |
|
|
How is the primary motor cortex (M1) topographically arranged? |
A direct mapping of the body. Nearby areas in M1 are involved in moving nearby areas in the body |
|
|
The right hemisphere moves muscles in which side of the body? |
The left |
|
|
Where are the cell bodies of neurons in M1 situated? |
The cortex |
|
|
Where do the axons of neurons in M1 lead to? |
The spine |
|
|
Do neurons in primary motor cortex (M1) operate single muscles? |
YES |
|
|
Where are mirror neurons situated? |
F5 in the premotor cortex |
|
|
Premotor cortex neurons cause movement in... |
Groups of muscles |
|
|
What do mirror neurons respond to? |
Execution of goal directed action e.g. reaching out
And observing other people executing actions |
|
|
What does action specificity mean with regards to mirror neurons? |
They respond during specific actions and the sight of specific actions |
|
|
What is tight tuning? |
When neurons respond only to very specific actions e.g. anti-clockwise rotation |
