Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The right motor cortex controls movement on the left side of the body, so damage to this area would result in some loss of coordination on the left side of the body. Option A is incorrect because damage to the right motor cortex would affect the left side of the body, not the right side (option C). Option D is incorrect because damage to the right motor cortex would affect coordination, not feeling.
