Cultural competence is a term that describes what happens when special knowledge about individuals and groups of people is incorporated into standards, policies, and practices.
Other brain regions outside the cerebral cortex are also of great importance to motor function, most notably the cerebellum, the basal ganglia, pedunculopontine nucleus and the red nucleus, as well as other subcortical motor nuclei.
The cerebellum is located behind the brain stem. While the frontal lobe controls movement, the cerebellum âfine-tunesâ movement. This area of the brain controls fine motor movement, balance, and the brainâs ability to determine limb position. A stroke in the cerebellum can lead to paralysis or jerky muscle movements. Located at the top of the spinal column, the brain stem controls breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, and alertness.
