- Bthalamus
- Camygdaloidal nucleus
- Dsensory cortex
- Ebasal ganglia
13The Renshaw cells:
- Areceive recurrent collaterals from motor neurons and inhibit other motor neurons in the vicinity
- Brepresent the inhibitory system of cerebellum
- Care a major component of muscle spindle
- Dare present in retina
- Eare present in the basal ganglia
14Promoter cortex refers to:
- Asome areas anterior to primary motor cortex causing complex coordinate movements like speech, eye movements
- Ban area of motor cortex responsible for voluntary movements
- Can area in temporal cortex
- Dan area of cerebellum
- Ec and d
