      Motor neurons are controlled by dopamine, but dopamine is also the stuff that rewards you too. So thats why it technically is “Motor neurons are controlled by rewards”

        If you want to be broad and make generalizations, sure. But in any meaningful sense, that is not correct. Dopamine is used in the reward pathway, it is not a reward by itself.
