Probably the best-known region of the brain associated with motor control (movement) is the primary motor cortex. The primary motor cortex is located in the precentral gyrus, just anterior to the central sulcus.

However, the pre-motor areas of the frontal lobe, as well as the cerebellum are also very involved with motor control.
