Question

What part of the brain modifies the activity of upper motor neurons to produce voluntary movements and inhibit involuntary ones?

Answer 1

Answer:

The part of the brain is known as the basal nuclei.

Explanation:

This structure is a set of subcortical nuceli, located on either side of the thalamus, around the same height as the temporal lobe.

They have different functions:

• Planning, integration and execution of any voluntary movement, as well as the inhibition of any involuntary movements.
• Procedimental learning: learning an action and being able to carry it out without thinking too much about it, such as driving.
• Executive functions: planning, cognitive thinking, problem solving, amongst others.
• They play a role in motivational and emotional conduct.
