Figure 10-1 Motor commands from the brain have been modified by a variety of excitatory and inhibitory control systems, including essential feedback from sensory afferent neurons, along with vision and balance cues (not shown).

Figure 10-2 Side and cross-sectional views of some of the neural components regulating motor commands. Altered processing abilities in these components can cause motor problems such as Parkinsonism.

Figure 10-3 Examples of the categories of information and their underlying neuronal substrates modifying the production of motor commands from the brain.

Figure 10-4 Acting on local reflex circuits and by relaying impulses to the brain, muscle spindles and Golgi tendon organs provide information about muscle position and stretch in order to finely regulate the speed and intensity of muscle contraction.

Regardless of the reason for a change in length, the stretched spindle in scenario (a) generates a burst of action potentials as the muscle is lengthened; in scenario (b), the shortened spindle produces fewer action potentials from the spindle.

Figure 10-6 Tapping the patellar tendon lengthens the stretch receptor in the associated extensor muscle in the thigh; responses include: compensatory contraction in that muscle (A and C), relaxation in the opposing flexor (B), and sensory afferent delivery to the brain. Note: NMJ = neuromuscular junction

Activation of Golgi tendon organs Activation of Golgi tendon organs. Compared to when a muscle is contracting, passive stretch of the relaxed muscle produces less stretch of the tendon and fewer action potentials from the Golgi tendon organ.

Figure 10-8 Contraction of the extensor muscle on the thigh tenses the Golgi tendon organ and activates it to fire action potentials. Responses include: Inhibition of the motor neurons that innervate this muscle (A), and excitation in the opposing flexor’s motor neurons (B). Note: NMJ = neuromuscular junction

1 2 3 Figure 10-9 Pain sensory afferents detect pain in foot and The neural components of the pain-withdrawal reflex in this example proceed as follows: Pain sensory afferents detect pain in foot and send action potentials via dorsal horn of spinal cord. Interneurons in the cord activate extensor muscles on the “pained” side of the body and flexor muscles on the opposite side of the body. Muscles move body away from painful stimulus. 1 2 Could alter to show 1, 2, 3 in sequence 3 Figure 10-9

Figure 10-10 Extensive neural networks between the major “motor areas” of the cerebral cortex permit fine control of movement, utilizing sensory and intentional signals to activate the appropriate motor neurons at an appropriate level of stimulation. Figure 10-10

The location and relative size of the cartoon body- Somatotopic Map The location and relative size of the cartoon body- shapes represent the location and relative number of motor-related neurons in the cerebral cortex.

Figure 10-12 Efferent motor commands from the cerebral cortex are contralateral or “crossed,” meaning that the left cortex controls the muscles on the right side of the body (and vice versa), whereas the brainstem influences ipsilateral (same side) motor activity. Figure 10-12

Figure 10-13 Motor activity must be informed about the body’s center of gravity in order to make adjustments in the level of stimulation to muscles whose contraction prevents unstable conditions (falling).
