The premotor cortex is a region of the brain located in the frontal lobe, just in front of the primary motor cortex. It plays a crucial role in planning and coordinating movements, particularly those that are complex or require the integration of sensory information. This area helps prepare the body for action by organizing the necessary motor commands. Additionally, the premotor cortex is involved in the learning of new motor skills and the execution of movements based on external cues. It connects with other brain regions, including the parietal cortex and basal ganglia, to facilitate smooth and purposeful actions.
