Question

Damage to the ________________ resulted in monkeys being unable to perform a once familiar response, specifically pushing in a lever and then turning it to the left

This result suggests that this brain area is involved in executing well-learned sequences of motor responses.

A. supplementary motor area
B. premotor cortex
C. frontorbital cortex
D. common integrative area
E. primary motor cortex

Answer 1

supplementary motor area

Step-by-step explanation:

The supplementary motor area (SMA) is a part of the primate cerebral cortex that gives room for the control of their movement. It is located on the midline surface of the hemisphere right in front of (anterior to) the primary motor cortex leg representation.
