The Motor Cortex Functions and associated substructures
Location The Primary Motor Cortex is the posterior part of the frontal lobe, lying behind the prefrontal cortex and in front of the sensory cortex.
Functions The Motor Cortex is involved in the planning, control, and execution of voluntary motor functions. ,[object Object]
Those regions of the body that require more precise control occupy larger regions of the motor cortex. ,[object Object]
Special Note The Posterior Parietal Cortex (PPC) is located on the parietal lobe, behind the Sensory Cortex and in front of the Occipital lobe. There fore it is not part of or even adjacent to the PrecentralGyrus where the Primary Motor Cortex is located. The Posterior Parietal Cortex is still considered anatomically part of the Motor Cortex due to its function: transforming visual information into motor commands. What is the relation between the location of the PPC and its function?
