   Sep 21, 2023 · The motor cortex is an area within the brain’s cerebral cortex involved in the planning, control, and execution of voluntary movements. It is located in the frontal lobe and works with other brain areas and the spinal cord to translate thought into physical motion.

   Sep 27, 2023 · Motor neurons (also referred to as efferent neurons) are the nerve cells responsible for carrying signals away from the central nervous system towards muscles to cause movement. They release neurotransmitters to trigger responses leading to muscle movement.

   Aug 1, 2011 · We may summarize the basic wiring diagram or plan outlined in the previous chapter by saying that information processing in the central nervous system directs behavior via the motor system, which in turn is controlled by the behavioral state, cognitive, and sensory systems.

   What is a motor system?

   • By definition the motor system is the output of the central nervous system and it controls both the somatic system of skeletal muscle for producing behavior, and the visceral system for regulating bodily vital functions. For this there are three different motor subsystems that are quite distinct in terms of network organization and function.

   How do motor neurons work?

   • When motor neurons are stimulated they release neurotransmitters that bind to the receptors on muscles to trigger a response, which lead to movement. As you can see from the diagrams above, all three neurons consist of similar parts. The dendrites receive signals from other neurons or from sensory receptor cells.

   What is a locomotor pattern generator?

   • In essence, the locomotor pattern generator is a network of intraspinal interneurons that produces a complex behavior (pattern of muscle contractions) when activated by a combination of behavioral state, cognitive, sensory, and/or even higher order motor system inputs.

   What is the model of a somatic motor system?

   • The model in (b) involves two independent interneurons that are coordinated by a branched input. Key: CNS, central nervous system; MN, motor neuron; (+), less excitation. The core of the somatic motor system can be thought of as hierarchically organized, with motor neuron pools controlling behavior at the bottom (a).

   Is motor control simple?

   • Despite the diversity of movements we perform, motor control is often considered as simple, probably reflecting that movements are seemingly effortless and largely unconscious. However, even simple movements require significant computations to coordinate the action of multiple muscles.

   How do motor and sensory systems work together?

   • Motor and sensory systems work together to generate effective movement. In the frontal lobes of the brain, specific regions such as the prefrontal cortex, premotor cortex, and primary motor cortex contribute to movements in unique ways. The prefrontal cortex is critical for making the decision to execute a particular action.
