The brain's 'go' button: Understanding the supplementary motor area (opens the original)
Read excerpt
She could move her arm. She simply... wouldn’t on command. That was the puzzle. The surgery had gone beautifully. A low-grade tumour lying just in front of the supplementary motor area of the brain had been removed completely. She woke up exactly as planned. She understood every question I asked. She could see.
