The motor cortex is located in the?

Its located in the cortex of the brain, the highest part of the brain. The left side of the cortex controls the right side of the body and vice versa. The actual motor parts are in known as the precentral gyrus. ----just in front of the central sulcus


Which lobe effects motor function of right side?

The left frontal lobe.


Where is the broca's area of the brain?

It is in on the left side of the frontal cortex


Where in the brain are phallic messages sent?

There are many parts of the brain that are involved: bilateral inferior temporal cortex,right insula, right inferior frontal cortex, left anterior cingulate cortex, right occipital gyrus, right hypothalamus and the left caudate (the striatum).To sum it up, the temporal (visual memories and emotion), frontal (reward and motivation), occipital (vision) regions and the hypothalamus (hormone release) are the parts of the brain where phallic messages are sent.


What part of the brain controls the right leg?

The motor cortex in the left side of the brain controls voluntary movements of the right leg. The signals from the motor cortex travel through the spinal cord to the muscles in the right leg, enabling movement.


What part of the cortex controls voluntary movement?

Its located in the cortex of the brain, the highest part of the brain. The left side of the cortex controls the right side of the body and vice versa. The actual motor parts are in known as the precentral gyrus. ----just in front of the central sulcus


Decussation of most motor fibers occurs here?

Ans: Frontal LobeExplanation: " The fibers that carry information from the motor area of the frontal lobe of the brain are crossed fibbers. In other words, the fibers leave the motor area of the left frontal lobe, cross over and innervate the right side of the body. The fibers from the right frontal lobe also cross over and innervate the left side of the body. The crossing over of fibers is called DECUSSATION." - from "The Human Body in Health and Illness - Barbara Herlihy p175"

What is the motor speech area in the left frontal lobe called?

The production of speech is very complex and involves many parts of the brain, but the Broca's area of the left frontal lobe of the cerebrum is responsible for its final production. Why is it on the left and not the right? There may be no other answer as to why.


What is in the brain and regulates activities?

The brain is made up of nerve cells (neurons), among other things. Activity, by which I assume you mean motor activity, is regulated by neuronal systems in the precentral gyrus, which is also referred to as the motor cortex. Damage to the motor cortex will cause paralysis on the opposite side of the body (i.e., damage to the right motor cortex causes paralysis on the left side of the body, and vice versa).


The left side of your brain controls what part of the body?

Your two hemispheres of the brain control movements on the opposite sides of your body. Your right somatic cortex controls your left side and your left somatic cortex controls your right side.
