THE BRAIN AND MOTOR SKILLS EXPLAINED

The brain is an essential part of our movement. It is where all the orders for our bodies come form. I will try to explain how our movements are connected to the brain.

The part of the brain most commonly associated with motor function is the Primary Motor Cortex which is on the Precentral Gyrus just in front of the cental sulcus. This region, if electrically stimulated, can make the skeletal muscles contract. But the movement signals produced here are very blunt so it is beleived that the signals are refined in various areas including the Medulla.
