• Initiation and control of voluntary movements (primary motor area).
• Working memory and attention.
• Language production (Broca's area).
• Personality and social behavior (prefrontal cortex).

Interacting Systems & Components:

• Cerebral Cortex (one of the four major lobes)
• Prefrontal Cortex (anterior part of)
• Primary Motor Area (located within)
• Broca's Area (language production)
• Thalamus (receives input from)
