Electrical stimulation of the medial frontal lobe elicits a pattern of body movements in sheep.

Acute experiments were conducted in sheep anaesthetized with sodium pentobarbital to identify regions in the brain where electrical stimulation would elicit movements of body parts. Stimulating the dorsal frontal cortex 2 mm from midline from the front of the brain backward for 30 mm caused movements, in order, of the lower jaw, face in general, neck, shoulder and front and back legs.
