Title: What role does dopamine play in motor control?
Post by: Cali Fornia on Nov 25, 2016
What role does dopamine play in motor control?
A) Dopamine binds receptors in the cerebral cortex to activate upper motor neurons to produce coordinated and smooth movements.
B) Dopamine binds receptors on the caudate nucleus and putamen, inhibiting the globus pallidus. The upper motor neurons are eventually activated.
C) Dopamine enhances the process of motor learning in the cerebellum to reduce motor error.
D) Dopamine inhibits the substantial nigra of the basal nuclei and inhibits the upper motor neurons from initiating movement.
