caudal part of dorsal secondary motor cortex
Acronym:
The term caudal part of dorsal secondary motor cortex refers to the more posterior of two sectors of dorsal secondary motor cortex in the macaque and the human. It is defined on the basis of internal structure, connections and function ( Matelli-2004 ). In both species it is located in the dorsal and rostral part of the precentral gyrus. In the human it comprises the dorsolateral part of area 6a alpha of Vogts. In the macaque it surrounds the superior precentral sulcus and is associated with area F2, which is subdivided into area F2d and area F2vr. The other sector is the rostral part of dorsal secondary motor cortex.
