Question
Chapter 15, Problem 11CP
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The anatomical basis for the fact that the left side of the brain controls motor function on the right side of the body.
Introduction:
There are two types of motor neurons: upper motor neuron and lower motor neuron. The cell body of upper motor neuron lies in the CNS processing centre and the cell body of lower motor neuron lies in the nucleus of brainstem.

How do the somatic motor and visceral motor (ANS) pathways differ anatomically and functionally?
Central pattern generators (CPGs) are found at the segmental level of motor control. (a) What is the job of the CPGs? (b) What controls them, and where is this control localized?

Elon Musk has hired you as the chief neuroscientist for Neuralink! He knows distressingly little about the brain and wants you to figure out how to implement some of his ideas.
First, he'd like you to improve the state of Neuralink's implants for controlling prosthetic limbs and other external devices. Rather than collect information about individual motor commands, where should the implant be placed to collect information about high-level movement goals?
a.
Parietal cortex
b.
Spinal cord
c.
Primary motor cortex
d.
Hypothalamus
e.
Hippocampus
