Control of action as mediated by the human frontal lobe

  • Chapter
Executive Control and the Frontal Lobe: Current Issues

  • 508 Accesses

Abstract

Conscious control of action involves the voluntary initiation and the continuous adjustment of motor activity. Neuroimaging data provide evidence that the plan for a movement is developed with respect to the behavioral context in prefrontal cortex, while the synergies of a motor program are coded by premotor cortex and the specific movement parameters by the motor cortex. It is suggested that the initiational aspects of conscious motor activity are implemented in a medial system of information flow and the integrative aspects in a lateral system of the human frontal lobe.
