The statement is correct in both parts. The primary motor cortex is responsible for fine control of movement, and its destruction would result in a loss of this ability. However, the medial and lateral pathways can still provide basic or coarse motor control in the absence of the primary motor cortex. Therefore, movement may not be completely lost, but it will lack fine control.
