Abstract

Motor decision-making is a process that takes place in everyday tasks to select the needed steps to make a specific movement. There are some brain areas that work together during the different stages of target selection, movement selection and muscular effector selection. The intraparietal area, the prefrontal cortex, the reach parietal region and other frontoparietal networks, are some of the responsible structures that coordinate the complexity of the process; however there are still so many contributors that haven´t been discovered yet. This is a summary about the different experimental processes in the last years, that have determined the brain structures that participate in the motor decision-making.
