Chapter 5, Problem 5RE
Summary Introduction
To Determine:
If the given statement 'the hands and structures related to the mouth have an unreasonably large share of representation in both the sensory and motor cortexes' is true or false.
Introduction:
Motor control can be defined as the systematic control of movement in organisms which contain a nervous system. The primary motor cortex (M1) is the main area of the brain that is involved in the motor function. M1 is present in the frontal lobe of the brain.

A neurosurgeon probes a person’s brain to map its functions. The person is awake and feels no pain during this procedure. As each area of the brain is probed, the person perceives a different sensation, as described in the table. Which structure (or lobe) of the brain is being stimulated in each scenario? [You do not need to explain why. Just state the lobe or structure]
a) “I can hear a radio playing” _____________________
b) “I can see a flash of bright light” _____________________
c) “I can smell the flowers in my garden” ______________________
d) “I remember a happy moment from my childhood” ____________________
e) “I can feel pain in my foot” ____________________
f) “My finger just twitched” ____________________
Corticospinal tract originates from all the following areas, except :-a- premotor area in the frontal lobe b- prefrontal area in the frontal lobec- supplemental motor area in the frontal lobed- somatic sensory area in the parietal lobe
