The neurons of the primary motor cortex receive important inputs from the basal ganglia.
The basal ganglia are a set of subcortical nuclei integrated in the circuit that participates in the regulation of movement by exerting its motor control through the cerebral cortex.
The primary motor cortex contains the upper motor neurons responsible for transmitting commands from the basal ganglia to initiate voluntary movements.
Motor activity begins in the cerebral motor cortex, passes through the basal ganglia where information is handled within the framework of the movement regulation process, but returns to the supplementary motor area of the cortex, through the thalamus.
Therefore, we can conclude that the neurons of the primary motor cortex receive important inputs from the basal ganglia.
