- Innate vocalizations such as crying and laughter (correct)
What is the function of the laryngeal motor cortex in relation to vocalizations?
What is the function of the laryngeal motor cortex in relation to vocalizations?
- It controls the pyramidal system
- It allows humans to mimic innate vocalizations (correct)
- It controls the limbic pathway
- It controls the vagus nerve

Study Notes
Limbic Pathway for Innate Vocalizations
- Limbic pathway involves crying and laughter
- Laryngeal motor cortex provides fine motor control for these innate vocalizations
- Allows humans to mimic these innate vocalizations
Laryngeal Muscle Innervation
- All but one set of laryngeal muscles receive bilateral innervation (motor and sensory)
- Left and right brain control both sides of the larynx
Pyramidal System
- Direct Pathway: Corticobulbar and Corticospinal
- Responsible for voluntary movements
Extrapyramidal System
- Indirect pathway
- Function: helps maintain baseline level of tone
- Modulated by the Basal ganglia, controlling amount of movement
- Direct Pathway: increases motor activity
- Indirect Pathway: reduces unwanted motor activity
- Cerebellum: adjusts, improves coordination, sends and receives information
Lesions
- Pyramidal lesions: Flaccid, Spastic
- Extrapyramidal lesions: Dyskinesias, Tremor, Chorea, Athetosis, Myoclonus, Ataxia
Vagus Nerve (X CN)
- Superior Laryngeal nerve involved
