PY - 2020 T2 - Essentials of Modern Neuroscience AB - ObjectivesAfter studying this chapter, the student should be able to:See how control of movement is instantiated in a hierarchical control system, much of which appears to involve the evolution of higher levels of more sophisticated control using lower levels as subsystems.Understand how the pyramidal motor system originating in primary motor cortex permits learning of complex and subtle motor sequences.See how goal execution proceeds from the most abstract planning stages in prefrontal cortex, through the supplementary motor and premotor global organizational areas to primary motor cortex.Follow motor commands from primary motor cortex via upper motor neurons to the lower motor neuron spinal cord output.See how the cortical motor output control of the body is laid out in a body map called a homunculus in a manner similar to that of the somatosensory system just across the central sulcus in neocortex.Understand the role of the thalamus and other subcortical structures in motor control.
