Which brain regions are involved in the planning of movement, including the Basal Ganglia?
- Primary motor cortex and Thalamus
- Prefrontal cortex and Primary somatosensory cortex (correct)
- Caudate nucleus and Putamen
- Globus Pallidus and Substantia nigra
What is the role of the Basal Ganglia in initiating motor movement?
What is the role of the Basal Ganglia in initiating motor movement?
- It causes an EPSP or IPSP in the post synaptic neuron
- It controls movement through the direct pathway
- It stimulates the corticospinal tract for lower motor movement
- It integrates and relays information from the thalamus to cortical regions (correct)
