Changing concepts of motor areas of the cerebral cortex.
Recent development of studies on cerebral cortex of primates provides evidence that there exist multiple motor representation areas in the frontal lobe. By analyzing the activity of single cells in association with performance of a variety of motor behavior, new concepts on the functional role of each area are developing.
