What types of problems could result from damage to motor neurons?

What is primary motor cortex responsible for?
- ✔️The primary motor cortex is the main contributor to generating neural impulses that pass down to the spinal cord and control the execution of movement. However, some of the other motor areas in the brain also play a role in this function. It is located on the anterior paracentral lobule on the medial surface.
