1. The background: relationships between structure and function -- 2. Anatomical substrates for movement performance: cerebral cortex and the corticospinal tract -- 3. Correlations between corticospinal connections and function -- 4. Corticospinal influences on the spinal cord machinery for movement -- 5. Output functions of the motor cortex -- 6. Inputs from peripheral receptors to motor cortex neurones -- 7. Motor functions of non-primary cortical motor areas -- 8. Dynamic nature of cortical organization -- 9. Synthesis: corticospinal function and voluntary movement |
| Summary |
This is an authoritative and comprehensive account of the regions of the brain which control the performance of skilled voluntary movements, especially the accurate and precise control of the use of the fingers and the hand by monkeys and humans. The significance of recent and clinical observations concerning the details of the cortico-cortical connections which contribute to the determination of these functions is discussed |
