What are the three levels of hierarchy in motor control?
Neocortex and basal ganglia deal with strategy, the motor cortex and cerebellum deals with tatics and the brain stem and spinal cord deals with the execution.
1 of 8
What are the lateral pathways involved in?
The voluntary movement of the distal musculature and are under direct cortical control
2 of 8
What are the ventromedial pathways involved in?
The control of posture and locomotion and are under the brain stem control.
3 of 8
Where does the tectospinal tract originate and where does it input come from?
Originates from the superior colliculus of the midbrain and takes input from the retina and visual cortex
4 of 8
Where does the pontine and medullarly reticulospinal tract come from and what are its inputs?
It comes from the reticular formation of the brain with many sources of input
5 of 8
Where does the readiness for movement occur?
In the parietal and frontal lobes
6 of 8
Where does the setting up for movement occur?
In the supplementary and premotor areas
7 of 8
What does the basal ganglia consist of?
Caudate nucleus, putamen, globus pallidus, subthalamic nucleus and substantia nigra
