The forebrain, particularly the motor areas in the cerebral cortex, controls voluntary muscle movement. The primary motor cortex, located in the frontal lobe, is a key region responsible for initiating and executing voluntary movements. Neurons in this area send signals to the spinal cord, which then transmit commands to specific muscles. The premotor cortex and supplementary motor area, also part of the motor areas, contribute to motor planning, coordination, and the initiation of complex movements. Additionally, the basal ganglia and cerebellum, interconnected with the motor areas, fine-tune motor control and contribute to smooth, coordinated movements. Overall, the motor areas in the forebrain coordinate the intricate processes involved in voluntary muscle movement.
