Betz cells of the primary motor cortex [PDF]
Journal of Comparative NeurologyAbstractBetz cells, named in honor of Volodymyr Betz (1834–1894), who described them as “giant pyramids” in the primary motor cortex of primates and other mammalian species, are layer V extratelencephalic projection (ETP) neurons that directly innervate α‐motoneurons of the brainstem and spinal cord.

Dopaminergic signals in primary motor cortex [PDF]
International Journal of Developmental Neuroscience, 2009 AbstractBrainstem monoamine areas such as the ventral tegmental area (VTA) send dopaminergic projections to the cerebral cortex that are widely distributed across different cortical regions. Whereas the projection to prefrontal areas (PFC) has been studied in detail, little is known about dopaminergic projections to primary motor cortex (M1).

The Primary Motor Cortex: The Hub of Motor Learning in Rodents
Neuroscience, 2022 The primary motor cortex, a dynamic center for overall motion control and decision making, undergoes significant alterations upon neural stimulation. Over the last few decades, data from numerous studies using rodent models have improved our understanding of the morphological and functional plasticity of the primary motor cortex.

Segmental reorganization of the leg primary motor area
Interdisciplinary Neurosurgery, 2020 Reorganization of eloquent cortex due to neighboring stressors, like tumors and epilepsy, has been previously documented. Here we report reorganization of a subregion of the primary motor cortex due to a slow-growing primary brain tumor.

Movement Decomposition in the Primary Motor Cortex [PDF]
Cerebral Cortex, 2018 Abstract A complex action can be described as the composition of a set of elementary movements. While both kinematic and dynamic elements have been proposed to compose complex actions, the structure of movement decomposition and its neural representation remain unknown.

Isolated shoulder weakness as a result of a cortical infarction in the precentral gyrus [PDF]
Journal of Community Hospital Internal Medicine Perspectives, 2015 Since its discovery, our understanding of the primary motor cortex has continued to evolve. The presentations of rare, isolated, motor palsies of small muscle groups have heavily contributed to the characterization of the somatotopic representation of ...
