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?
