hey,

so i know thought just arises from environmental stimuli, or is stimulated by other thoughts that take place - so i'm not so much wondering where thought arises from as this:

how does the brain turn mental imagery or commands into action?

like for example i say " i want to open and close my hand" in my head (as a thought)

and then i do it.

how does that happen?

in short, motor areas are heavily interconnected with premotor and sensory areas
