Neuroimaging Meets Neurophysiology: Are There Cortical Somatotopic Motor Maps Outside of the Human Precentral Gyrus?

Medicine, Psychiatry, Neurology, Clinical Psychology, Medical Imaging,
somatotopic motor maps   lateral occipitotemporal cortex   precuneus   functional MRI   motor control  

New Discoveries in Cortical Motor Maps Background Introduction Humans and other primates are capable of performing a wide range of complex body movements, the initiation and control of which rely on multiple cortical and subcortical structures. Among these, the primary motor cortex (M1), located in the precentral gyrus, is the core region for execu...
