Motor apraxia is a neurological condition characterized by difficulty planning and executing purposeful movements, despite the absence of muscle weakness or cognitive impairment. Although the caudate nucleus is involved in motor control and motor coordination, it is not typically associated with motor apraxia. Motor apraxia is more commonly associated with damage to the parietal cortex, particularly the posterior parietal cortex, which is involved in the planning and execution of motor actions. Damage to other brain regions, such as the premotor cortex and the supplementary motor area, can also result in motor apraxia.
