The map of the body isn't linear, especially when it comes to stimulating very specific muscles. The distal parts are in the middle and then the more proximal parts are going further out. So we've got that concentric ring shape from specific muscle activation for hands, feet and face. And dispersed between these areas are these integration areas. These interaffective regions. Newborns don't have those.
In this thought-provoking episode, Dr Matt and Dr Mike delve into the intriguing world of neuroscience as a new paper emerges, presenting significant findings that challenge long-held beliefs about the motor cortex. Join us as we carefully examine the intricate details of this study and discuss its implications for our understanding of movement, motor control, and brain plasticity. Together, we navigate the evolving landscape of the motor cortex and explore how these fresh insights may shape the future of neuroscience. Get ready to gain new perspectives and explore the fascinating developments unfolding in our understanding of the motor cortex.
