Cochran · Answer 1

The correct answer is option d) "damage to the primary motor cortex results only in the loss of both voluntary muscle control and reflexes".

Explanation:

It is false that damage to the primary motor cortex results only in the loss of both voluntary muscle control and reflexes. Many people that suffer from brain damage by strokes suffer from primary motor cortex damage. This damage not only affects voluntary muscle control and reflexes, as it affects muscles movement of any kind and can affect coordination as well.
