Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The basal nuclei are involved with the coordination of learned movement patterns. They do not initiate voluntary movements directly, but instead modulate the activity in other motor areas such as the primary motor cortex and the cerebellum. Therefore, option A, C, and D are incorrect. Option E is not entirely correct as the basal nuclei do not control the cerebellum, but rather work together with it in motor coordination.
