Is desire also a by-product of the matter process?
In materialist ontology, everything is material, and the behavior of organic matter is explained by natural processes.

What is thought from the materialistic point of view?
Thought is a brain process, the physical activity of the brain in conjunction with the rest of the central nervous system, just as digestion is the physical activity of the digestive system.
So I can say that thoughts are the result of the matter process which latter is based on the laws of physics.
Thoughts are the result of the physical activity of the brain, a dead brain does not produce thoughts. They are the products of processes in organic matter that follow their own laws of biology, consistent with the laws of physics that govern all matter.

I know that you can move. I am asking how your thought can intervene when your body and even the electrons of your brain follow the laws of physics.
Thoughts are an activity of my body, of my brain. My body, including my brain, is composed of electrons. It is not that it "has electrons" as an accessory or contingent property.

Yes, we know the locations in the brain after studying it. But even after studying, we don't directly stimulate those locations in order to move when we have the desire to move.
It doesn't work as the touching of a button. There are complex anatomic systems and processes involved which determine the action before it happens and make it happen.

I care. It is very important. There are two things, the motion of your fingers and the desire to move them properly. There is a gap in here since to move your finger you need to stimulate a specific part of your brain. You don't do that, do you?
You fail to show that there's something abnormal or lacking a natural explanation here. The CNS is stimulated to produce a movement in other parts of the body and the corresponding body systems targeted by neurotransmitters perform the action. There's no mystery in it.
