Define the Pre Motor Areas of the Cerebrum

The pre motor areas too lie in the frontal lobe immediately anterior to the motor area as highlighted in the Figure. The cells are thought to exert a controlling influence over the motor area, ensuring a series of movements, e.g. while writing or tying a shoe lace, many muscles contract but the movement must be carried out in a particular sequence.

This is described as manual dexterity. In the lower part of this area, just above the lateral sulcus is the broca's area which controls Movement for speech. It is dominant in the left hemisphere in the right handed people and vice versa.
