Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Neuroanatomy

Context:

  • The supplementary motor area (SMA) is a critical brain region involved in motor control.
  • Understanding the SMA's function is key to comprehending complex motor behaviors and neurological disorders.

Purpose:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of the supplementary motor area (SMA).
  • To detail the SMA's anatomy, neuronal connections, and pathological conditions.
  • To elucidate the motor and speech motor functions attributed to the SMA.

Summary:

  • This review covers the historical development leading to the discovery of the supplementary motor area (SMA).
  • It details the SMA's anatomical structure, neuronal pathways, and discusses various pathologies including epilepsy, tumors, and experimental ablations.
  • The motor functions, with a specific focus on speech motor control, are examined, alongside Sir John C. Eccles' theory on the SMA and mind-body dualism.
