The oldest, and most commonly used, is the USDA Zone Hardiness map which calculates 11 zones and tells what level of winter cold a plant could experience in a location. Seattle falls into zone 8b with expected winter minimums of 15 to 20.
Motor cortex. (Redirected from Secondary motor cortex) The motor cortex is the region of the cerebral cortex involved in the planning, control, and execution of voluntary movements. Classically the motor cortex is an area of the frontal lobe located in the posterior precentral gyrus immediately anterior to the central sulcus.
In general, primary motor cortex encodes the parameters that define individual movements or simple movement sequences. 1  Primary motor cortex neurons fire 5-100 msec before the onset of a movement. 2  Primary motor cortex encodes the force of a movement. 3  Primary motor cortex encodes the direction of movement. Many neurons in the primary motor cortex are selective for a particular direction of movement. For example, one cell may fire strongly when the hand is moved to the left, whereas it will be inhibited when the hand is moved to the right (Figure 3.8). Figure 3.8.
