11. Information then feeds into the motor cortex of the frontal lobe. 12. The proposal that motor cortex neurons encode the direction of a reach became controversial. 13. Ferrier presented macaque monkeys with particular paralysis following specific surgeries of the motor cortex . 14. Located on the midline surface of the hemisphere anterior to the primary motor cortex 15. The somatosensory cortex is adjacent to the primary motor cortex which is similarly mapped. 16. Placental mammals evolved a discrete motor cortex about 100 mya. 17. Motor cortex stimulation is another option shown to be viable in numerous clinical trials.18. Further, this motor cortex was necessary for the arboreal lifestyles of our primate ancestors. 19. However, motor cortex reorganization itself does not occur at a uniform rate across training periods. 20. The inferior portion of the primary motor cortex may be involved, specifically, in controlled exhalation.
