Motor control is the process by which humans and animals use their brain and nervous system to activate and coordinate muscles and limbs involved in the performance of a motor skill. It involves complex interactions between neural circuits, sensory feedback, and motor commands to produce smooth, purposeful movements.
Concept
The neocortex is the part of the mammalian brain involved in higher-order brain functions such as sensory perception, cognition, and generation of motor commands. It is characterized by its layered structure and is responsible for the advanced cognitive abilities that distinguish humans and other mammals from other species.
The cortical control of movement refers to the brain's role in initiating, directing, and adjusting voluntary movements through complex neural circuits. This process involves the integration of sensory information and motor commands, primarily orchestrated by the motor cortex, basal ganglia, cerebellum, and other interconnected areas.
