rostral SMA proper
Acronym:
The term rostral SMA proper refers to an area located caudally on the mesial surface of the superior frontal gyrus in the human. It is defined on the basis of internal structure and function ( Matelli-2004 ). It is the more rostral of two parts of the SMA proper. It is activated when one imagines making a movement, such as a finger tap; observing another person make the same movement; or performing the movement repeatedly in a rhythm unassisted by external stimulation, as by a metronome. The other part of SMA proper is caudal SMA proper.
