Lesions of premotor cortex in man
Brain : a Journal of Neurology
|September 1, 1985
Summary
Frontal lobe lesions, specifically in the premotor cortex, cause unilateral weakness and limb-kinetic apraxia. These deficits impact arm and leg coordination, highlighting the premotor cortex's role in motor control.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Neuroscience
- Neurophysiology
Background:
- The precise functional role of the premotor cortex remains debated.
- Understanding deficits associated with premotor cortex lesions is crucial for clarifying its specific contributions to motor control.
