The motor areas in the fore-brain control the movement of voluntary muscles. Once a decision is made based on sensory information, it is passed on to these motor areas for the execution of a response, such as controlling leg muscles.
The motor areas in the forebrain, particularly the primary motor cortex and associated regions, play a central role in planning, initiating, and controlling voluntary muscle movements. Located in the frontal lobe, the primary motor cortex sends signals through upper motor neurons to the spinal cord, which further transmit commands to muscles, orchestrating precise and coordinated movements. The premotor cortex and supplementary motor area contribute to motor planning, coordination, and the execution of complex actions. These motor areas are essential for fine motor control, skilled movements, and the integration of sensory information to guide purposeful actions. Dysfunction in these regions can lead to motor impairments and impact an individual’s ability to execute voluntary movements effectively.
