Question

Electrical stimulation of the right motor cortex elicits limb movements on the left side of the body, and vice versa. Which term below best describes this organization of the motor cortex and the muscles of the body?

Answer 1

Contralateral.

Step-by-step explanation:

The brain control and coordinates the other system of the body. The information travels in the body in the form of the electrical stimulation by the chemical synapse.

The left hemisphere controls the right side of the body and vice versa. This organization is known as contralateral in which the body movements pertain or control the opposite sides of the body. The sensory and executive function are performed by the contraletral organization.

Thus, the correct answer is contralateral.
