TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - The Motor and Somatosensory Pathways and Approach to Weakness and Sensory Loss A1 - Berkowitz, Aaron L. PY - 2016 T2 - Clinical Neurology and Neuroanatomy: A Localization-Based Approach AB - The cerebral hemispheres are where the motor pathways originate, and where the somatosensory pathways terminate. The left cerebral hemisphere controls the motor functions of the right side of the body, and the right cerebral hemisphere controls the motor functions of the left side of the body. This crossed system is maintained in other modalities including the somatosensory and visual pathways: If the left hemisphere controls the right side of the body, it makes sense that it would need somatosensory information about the right side of the body and visual information about the right side of the world.
