Motor effects that depend on repetitive output from a neural pool are most likely to use the _____ type of neural circuit

Compare the locations and functions of the direct and indirect motor pathways.

Describe motor control in terms of the conceptual motor control hierarchy. Use the following terms: highest, middle, and local levels; motor program; descending pathways; and motor neuron?

Injury to the extra pyramidal motor system does not cause paralysis of voluntary movement and general spasticity. Explain why and discuss the major motor symptoms observed in extra pyramidal motor disorders.

Define the term primary motor cortex?

Explain the function of γ motor neurons. How do γ motor neurons play their role?

Interneurons can act as “switches” that enable a movement to be turned on or off under the command of higher motor centers. How? Explain with an example?

Describe the functions of gamma motor neurons and explain why they are stimulated at the same time as alpha motor neurons during voluntary muscle contractions.

Starting with the frontal lobe, trace every neuron in a voluntary somatic motor action such as kicking a ball (contracting the quadriceps) or throwing a ball (contracting the triceps).
