Motor cortex

Lateral view of one human cerebral hemisphere with the motor cortex highlighted as a narrow vertical to slightly curved ribbon-like strip along the precentral gyrus, just anterior to the central sulcus on the posterior frontal lobe. The highlighted band follows the contour of the folded gyri on the superior lateral frontal surface and is shown in a distinct warmer color such as red or orange against a pale pink, pink-gray, or pink-beige surrounding cerebral cortex. The rest of the hemisphere shows visible gyri and sulci with subtle cortical thickness and anatomical surface detail.
