Cards

Term
cerebral cortex
Definition

premotor cortex and primary motor cortex

pre - respond to external and internal stimuli, coordinate muscle group, memorized sequences

 

primary mortor cortex - activates muscle groups

plasticity

Term
premotor cortex
Definition

respond to external and internal stimuli

coordinate muscle groups

memorized sequences

 

Term
primary motor cortex
Definition

activates muscles groups

plasticity (muscles you use more, neurons are more dense for those muscles)

Term
mirror neurons
Definition
in premotor cortex, same neurons that actiavte if you pick up object are activated when watchign someone pick up object (only for deliberate, not accidental, actions)
Term
cerebellum
Definition
error correction signals for msucle coordination and muscle feeback
Term
cerebellum (detailed) what are the 3 sections and their function
Definition

vestibulocerebellum 

spinocerebellum comm. with spine, central msucles for alrge movemetns, eye movemetns

 

cerebrocerebellum - comm. with cerebral cortex, regulation of finely controlled movements

Term
basal ganglia
Definition
controls timing and coordination of voluntary movements, activity in basal ganglia can be measured seconds before a movement
Term
central pattern generator (cpg)
Definition
neural circuit that develops a rhythmic pattern that underlies a complex behavior and is independdent of sensory input
Term
reflex
Definition
a rapid, predictable motor response to stimulus, involuntary, can be modified and overidden
Term
spinal reflexes
Definition
synapses only in spinal cord, brain not part of reflex but typcally overrides response, 
Term
what are the componenets of the reflex arc
Definition

stimulus

sensory receptor

sensory neuron

interneuron

motor neuron

target

response

Term
what are the 4 catagories of teh spinal reflexes
Definition

stretch reflex

deep tendon reflex

flexion (withdrawal) reflex

crossed extension reflex
