Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The premotor cortex is responsible for planning and executing movements that require more complex and precise sequences of actions, such as those required during surgery. The tectospinal tract is important for reflex movements of the head and neck, the cerebellum is important for balance and coordination, and the subthalamic nucleus is involved in motor control but not specifically in precise and complicated movements.
