Document Summary
If we put the tms on certain regions of the brain, we can make certain body parts move. If you stimulate in between areas, you get a little bit of both. Four lobes: frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal. Idea or plans for moving or initiating movement. Processing of the sensory feedback as your limbs are moving. Allows you to see what you are doing; primary visual area. Audition or hearing if somebody tells you what to do you need to be able to process that through sound. Sensory cortex: posterior to central sulcus, receives axons specific to type of sensory information. Function: frontal lobe, just anterior to central sulcus, contains motor neurons that send axons to skeletal muscles, initiation and coordination of movements for fine motor skills, postural coordination. Location: anterior to the primary motor cortex. Functions include: organization of movements before they are initiated, rhythmic coordination during movement. Enables transitions between sequential movements of a serial motor skill.
