Question
Chapter 14, Problem 23CP
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The region located in the primary motor cortex which has been damaged due to a head injury.
Concept introduction:
The precentral gyrus region in the primary motor cortex of the brain directs the voluntary movements of an individual. The voluntary movements are controlled by this area by regulating the impulses in the somatic motor neurons in the brainstem and the spinal cord.
