Document Summary

Without knowledge : different from memory loss because visual agnosia is when the person doesn"t know what the object is until they pick it up and can actually feel, hear, etc. it. Face area is not an area devoted to a specific domain, but rather holistic recognition: effectors and muscles. Chapter 8: effectors, a part of the body that can move, distal effectors: far from the body"s center. Seems noncognitive as we cannot verbalize it (how to ride a bike). Independent of particular muscle group (writing name w/different effectors still produces similar penmanship): directional m1 tuning, georgopolous: neurons like particular directions of action. Population vectors summed activity over all neurons, cells represent planned movement before execution of movement (predict movement) Motor planning region: external guidance- visual: premotor (pmc). parietal. Perception-for-action regions: learned vs. new motor sequences, hemiplegia, loss of voluntary movement. Spasticity (increased muscle tone): apraxia no action , not muscle related.
