Motor cortex
The motor cortex is the area of the cerebral cortex involved in planning and executing voluntary movements.
Definition
The motor cortex includes areas involved in the initiation, control and coordination of movements. It works with other brain structures, the spinal cord and sensory information. Thanks to it, the intention of movement can be translated into specific body activity.

Practice and life
When learning a new movement skill, practice slowly and consciously. Precision at the beginning builds a better pattern than repeating a mistake quickly.
Common misunderstanding
It is a mistake to think that movement is only about muscles. Motor coordination is the result of the work of the entire neuromuscular system.
