Describe the role of sensory and motor cortical areas in movement control

Primary motor cortex (M1, area 4) – controls simple features of movement Premotor cortex (area 6 lateral) – involved with planning and coordination of movement in response to sensory outputs and important for multi-joint coordination Supplementary motor area (area 6 medial) – active during the planning of coordinating of internally guided movements and involved in bimanual coordination. Voluntary movements are organised in the cortex, where the primary motor cortex controls simple features of movement The premotor and supplementary motor areas are involved in planning complex movements
