Abstract
Stimulation of the facial region of the motor cortex in a series of macaques indicated that movements of the two sides of the face are represented in separate areas. The area for the contralateral side lies more dorsally and adjacent to the region for the upper extremity and that for the ipsilateral side more ventrally. Similar differentiation in pattern of movement between the two sides of the face is also present in the 2d motor area lying along the superior lip of the lateral fissure, with the ipsilateral representation lying anterior to the contralateral area.Keywords
