Within the motor cortex

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The motor cortex follows a somatotopic organization in which neighboring regions of the body are represented by neighboring regions in the cortex. However, some regions of the body, such as the hands and mouth, are more amply represented than other regions, such as the trunk or legs. Both of these characteristics are present within the motor cortex, making C the best choice. Finally, force and direction of movement are also represented within the motor cortex, so D is not a correct choice.
