The Dual System of the Motor Cortex
The new model basically states that there's a dual system there. And so the dual system is this integrate isolate model. There are discrete areas of the motor cortex and there seem to be six areas along that cortex. Dedicated to hands, feet and mouth. But then they found areas between those three. So it's not a linear model to concentric model. It actually was mapped in concentric rings. Like you said, dispersed between those areas, are these new what we call integrated areas. The only thing that stood the test of this experiment from Penfield to today is the hands, the feet and the mouth,. Or at least the upper limb, the lower limbs and the mouth.
