Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the location of the precentral gyrus in the brain. It is part of the frontal lobe and is located just anterior to the central sulcus.
Understand the role of the precentral gyrus. It is also known as the primary motor cortex.
Recognize that the primary motor cortex is responsible for initiating voluntary motor movements.
Differentiate between the functions of different brain regions. The precentral gyrus is specifically involved in motor control, not sensory processing, autonomic regulation, or language comprehension.
Conclude that the primary function of neurons located in the precentral gyrus is to control voluntary motor movements.
