It seems to be that activating this area coordinates the entire complex movement. We used to think that when you stimulated certain parts of the motor cortex, let's just say to go for a run, right? And we thought, oh, we just stimulate the various muscles of the legs, arms, torso,. And then the rest of the body played catch up. That would make sense. It now makes sense that it's not... You've already prepared someone. You've prepared it. So there is a signal that goes to these organs amazingly that says, we're going to run now. So just prepare. Now, it doesn't mean that the heart's going to start beating crazy from the
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.
