Exam 4: Neuromotor Basis for Motor Control

The forebrain consists of the

The diencephalon contains the thalamus and hypothalamus.

Sensory neurons are also known as neurons.

This part of the brain is NOT a part of the brainstem that is significantly involved in motor control?

Parkinson's disease is the result of a dysfunction of this area of the brain.

The nonpyramidal cells are the cells that send the majority of neural signals from the cortex to other parts of the central nervous system.

Which area of the cerebral cortex is NOT one of the four areas primarily involved in the control of movement.

The neurons that send information to the central nervous system (CNS)are the:

This type of motor neuron is most frequently found in the spinal cord.

The are extensions from the neuron's cell body that are primarily responsible for receiving information from other neurons.

The thalamus and pons are parts of the limbic system.

The cerebellum plays a role in motor learning as well as cognitive functioning.

The cerebellum,like the cerebral cortex,has two hemispheres.

Damage to the cerebellum typically results in clumsy movements.

The pyramidal tracts are a set of pathways in the nervous system.

The areas of the cerebral cortex that would interconnect the various cortex areas needed to perform a choice reaction time task are known as the areas.
