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.

Why do young children scribble?

It has to do with fine motor skills. As a child develops his/her brain is developing and part of that is the development of motor skills. There are gross motor skills like running, walking, throwing a ball, jumping and then there are fine motor skills that involve coloring, holding a pencil, cutting paper, and placing shapes/drawings on paper. The younger the child the less fine motor he/she has and as a child ages the fine motor also develops with practice and brain development.


What is the effect of alcohol on the cerebellum?

The Cerebellum controls the part of the brain that is associated with balance and fine motor skills. This part of the brain causes you to "fall down drunk" due to the inhibition of your balance. Alcohol also inhibits your motor skills, both fine and on a large scale. May also result in swaying while standing.

Why is the cerebellum important to humans?

It is very important to humans as it is the part just below the brain that controls motor control and cognitive functions. Motor control in terms of humans is the use of movement related functions and cognitive controlling language and attention functions. Also emotions, so this part of the brain is very important.
