Answer:

The part of the brain is known as the basal nuclei.

Step-by-step explanation:

This structure is a set of subcortical nuceli, located on either side of the thalamus, around the same height as the temporal lobe.

They have different functions:

  • Planning, integration and execution of any voluntary movement, as well as the inhibition of any involuntary movements.
  • Procedimental learning: learning an action and being able to carry it out without thinking too much about it, such as driving.
  • Executive functions: planning, cognitive thinking, problem solving, amongst others.
  • They play a role in motivational and emotional conduct.
