Describe the nature of motor processing in the brain, being sure to highlight interactions between brain areas

What will be an ideal response?

Answer: Area M1 controls fine motor movements. The premotor area (PM) is involved in setting up programs for specific sequences of actions. The supplementary motor area (SMA) is involved in setting up and executing action plans. However, neural evidence suggests that these areas do not always work in sequence. In addition, the PFC is involved with the initiation and temporal organization of action. The cerebellum is also involved with the temporal control of action sequences. Finally, these areas send and receive information from each other to coordinate movements.
