development involve some genetic components that determine the physical size of body parts at a given age‚ as well as aspects of muscle and bone strength. The main areas of the brain involved in motor skills are the frontal cortex‚ parietal cortex and basal ganglia. The dorsolateral frontal cortex is responsible for strategic processing. The parietal cortex is important in controlling perceptual-motor integration and the basal ganglia and supplementary motor cortex are responsible for motor sequences
