Motor control - Cortical processing
9 important questions on Motor control - Cortical processing
Where does the information from the primary visual cortex (occipital lobe) go to?
What does the posterior parietal cortex analyses?
2. Determines the saliency of the object (how important is it)
Determined at the same time
How does the posterior parietal cortex analyses the movement of an object?
This grasp vector will be eventually passed on to the central pattern generator (CPG). The CPG has a pre-programmed movement for each grasp vector
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
What happens with the grasp vectors and saliency values?
What is the function of the prefrontal cortex in the visual circuit?
- Rational control of behaviour
- Social control of behaviour
- Goal oriented planning of complex cognitive behaviour
- Orchestration of thoughts and actions in accordance with internal
goals
- The prefrontal cortex attributes a reward value to the various movement intentions under consideration
Where does the prefrontal cortex pass its information to?
What is the function of the premotor cortex (in visual circuit)?
--> decides based on the reward value (prefrontal) and grasp vector (posterior parietal)
What happens with the information after the premotor cortex? (visual circuit)
What is the motor state?
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
