Introduce the organisation of the motor control system, and bidirectional connections ranging from
the spinal cord to the motor cortex, including the positions of the primary motor cortex in this
system
– Discuss evidence for the structural organisation of the primary motor cortex, particular how
different body parts are mapped in M1
– Discuss, using specific examples, how non-invasive brain stimulation techniques, such as TMS, can
provide information about the cortical organisation of M1
– Review the evidence for the role of the primary motor cortex in motor control
