premotor area

The premotor cortex is an area of the brain located in front of the primary motor cortex. When stimulated in monkeys, it causes the head and eyes to turn as if looking in a specific direction, suggesting its role in guiding movements based on visual and auditory cues. This area is part of the cerebral hemispheres, which are the largest part of the human brain and are responsible for higher-level cognitive functions. The brain, composed of billions of neurons, forms the central nervous system along with the spinal cord, controlling both voluntary and involuntary actions.12
