The Penfield and Rasmussen experiments indicated that the human motor cortex is not a pure 'motor map' (Ref. 6); it is also a map of movement suppression 5.

Automated mapping of motor cortex using laser light. For automated ChR2-based motor mapping we chose a relatively collimated 473 nm laser targeted through a simple microscope ().To check the beam ...

Since the 1930s, the so-called homunculus map has shown how different parts of the brain's motor cortex may control movement to different parts of the body. But it may be missing an important ...

That map of the primary motor cortex — the motor homunculus — shows how this brain region is divided into sections assigned to each body part that can be controlled voluntarily (SN: 6/16/15).

The homunculus map of the primary motor cortex (left), compared to the updated map (right). The new map includes regions that control whole-body movements. Gordon, et al. via Nature under CC BY 4.0 ...

Surprisingly, the study showed that motor cortex maps of the amputated limb were similar in terms of extent, strength, and topography to individuals without limb amputation, but they were ...

The motor cortex homunculus is getting a makeover. New research has essentially redrawn the motor cortex and constitutes one of the most substantial shifts in our topographical knowledge of a sensory ...

In the brain's secondary motor cortex, researchers have discovered two distinct maps that play a crucial role in spatial planning and navigation. The research, led by Dr. Jeffrey Erlich, Group ...
