Motor Control: Pyramidal/Corticospinal vs. Extrapyramidal/Brainstem Pathways 1) Which pathway is responsible for fine motor control, faster movements and distal musculature? Where do the signals originate? 2) Which pathway is responsible for more course (gross) motor control, slower movements and proximal musculature? Where do the signals originate? 3) Differentiate between an upper and lower motor neuron. What result occurs if one or the other is damaged? Motor Processing 1) How do the cerebellum and basal ganglia each work to control motor movements? 2) What are the 3 sensory inputs the cerebellum integrates to regulate balance/equilibrium? 3) What is the Romberg test? When can the test be used and when cannot it not?

Which of the following cortical areas plays an important role in triggering planned movements and providing feedback for their control? Group of answer choices Supplementary motor area Primary motor cortex Posterior parietal cortex Which of the following is a function of the executive level of motor control? Group of answer choices Selection of muscles to be used. Vigor and speed of motor performance. Timing of muscle contraction and relaxation. Which of the following statements concerning central pattern generators (CPGs) is false? Group of answer choices The rhythmic output of a CPG is not dependent upon sensory feedback. The output of a CPG is fixed and cannot be modified or modulated. CPGs communicate with one another for intra- and inter-segmental coordination. To produce a rhythmic output, neurons showing reciprocal inhibitory connections, exhibit what is called "post-inhibitory rebound". Group of answer choices True False Sensory feedback can tune the CPG to rhythms that are appropriate for the environmental and kinematic context in which the animal is moving, such as altering your gait to avoid tripping over an object. Group of answer choices False True
