Motor Cortex: Function and Location

The motor cortex is an area within the brain's cerebral cortex involved in the planning, control, and execution of voluntary movements.  It is located in the frontal lobe and works with other brain areas and the spinal cord to translate thought into physical motion. In psychology, the motor cortex is studied for its role in skills acquisition, muscle coordination, and the integration of sensory information to produce complex motor actions.
