Topography of the primary motor cortex, on an outline drawing of the human brain. Each part of the primary motor cortex controls a different part of the body.
This is an outline drawing of the human brain that shows the topography of the primary motor cortex. Each part of the primary motor cortex controls a different part of the body. The labels across the primary motor cortex indicate what it controls, namely: toes, foot, leg, thigh, abdomen, trunk, back, shoulders, arm, elbow, wrist, fingers, head, eyelids, cheeks, jaws, lips, and tongue.
