The _______ seem(s) particularly important in the control and planning of complex motor sequences as opposed to simple movements.
A)primary motor cortex
B)primary somatosensory cortex
C)motor cortex regions in the prefrontal lobes
D)motor cortex regions in the parietal lobes

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The prefrontal lobes are involved in higher-level motor planning and control, including the planning and execution of complex motor sequences. The primary motor cortex (A) is responsible for executing simple movements, while the primary somatosensory cortex (B) processes sensory information from touch and proprioception. The motor cortex regions in the parietal lobes (D) are involved in the integration of sensory information with motor planning and execution, but may not have as specific a role in complex motor sequencing as the prefrontal motor areas.
