Premotor Cortex

The brain region that plans and prepares movement — integrates sensory input with motor output; site of mirror neurons.

The premotor cortex is the region of the frontal lobe just anterior to the primary motor cortex (M1). It plans and sequences movements, integrates sensory-guided action, and — in the ventral premotor area — contains mirror neurons.

Key Functions

  • Movement planning — prepares actions before execution
  • Sensory-motor integration — links perception to action
  • Mirror neurons — fire when observing and performing actions
  • Sequencing — coordinates multi-step movements

In ONDA Life

Part 6 describes the "Mirror Neuron System (Premotor Cortex)" as "your biological Wi-Fi" — training the ability to instantaneously read the intentions and states of others through micro-expressions and gestures.
