How we can move 26 (motor executive function)

Key Points

• The research aims to categorize and explain different types of motor executive functions and their neural underpinnings.
• Identified three types of motor executive functions: front-end non-reward, back-end non-reward, and front-end reward.
• Discussed the roles of the basal ganglia and ventral pallidum in regulating dopamine control for motor functions.
• Emphasized the importance of visual, motor, and deep sense corridors in executing motion.
• Established that non-reward motor functions rely on basal ganglia dopamine control.
• Showed that reward motor functions depend on dopamine control from the ventral pallidum.
• Highlighted the necessity of visual-simulatory functions for effective reward memory in motor execution.
