Premotor cortex
Part of the motor cortex in the frontal lobe. It is connected to the primary motor cortex and numerous other brain regions and is involved in the planning, preparation, and coordination of complex, voluntary movements. Examples of its functions include reaching for an object or the sequence of movements involved in targeted actions.
