"we find that the classic homunculus is interrupted by regions with distinct connectivity, structure and function, alternating with effector-specific (foot, hand and mouth) areas." This suggests "that M1 is punctuated by a system for whole-body action planning. two parallel systems intertwine, forming integrate–isolate effector-specific regions for isolating fine motor control and a system for integrating goals, physiology & body movement."

Mind-Body Connection Is Built Into Brain
Brain areas that control movement are plugged into networks that orchestrate thinking and planning, and control involuntary bodily functions. The findings provide a link between the body and the “mind” in the brain’s structure.
