GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Possible functions attributed to the SMA include the postural stabilization of the body, the coordination of both sides of the body such as during bimanual action, the control of movements that are internally generated rather than triggered by sensory events, and the control of sequences of movements.

Detailed explanation-2: -The supplementary motor area (SMA) is involved in programming complex sequences of movements and coordinating bilateral movements.

Detailed explanation-3: -The supplementary motor area (SMA) is a superordinate control region for speech and language processing. The posterior/anterior dimension reflects a subdivision into articulatory versus semantic aspects of language. The SMA plays an important role for the integration of subcortical functions.

Detailed explanation-4: -Supplementary motor area (SMA) syndrome is defined as temporary paralysis after the resection of brain tumor localized in the SMA. Although in most cases paralysis induced by SMA resection resolves within a short period, the time until complete recovery varies and has not been precisely analyzed to date.

Detailed explanation-5: -revealed that the supplementary motor area (SMA) was located in the medial region of the frontal lobe, and anterior to the primary motor area of the foot, and superior to the cingulate sulcus in Brodmann area 6.
