area DVT
Acronym: DVT
The term area DVT refers to one of the more caudal of four areas in the anterior bank of the parieto-occipital sulcus, on the medial surface of the hemisphere, that are transitional between early visual cortex and posterior cingulate association cortex. The others are area ProS, area POS1 and area POS2. DVT is bounded caudally by early visual cortex, dorsally by higher dorsal stream visual cortex, rostrally by areas POS1 and POS2, and ventrally by area ProS. It is transitional in the sense that it shares architectural features with areas more rostral and functional features similar to areas more caudal. Defined in the human by multiple criteria, it is fMRI-activated in PLACE, EMOTION, FACES, and SOCIAL tasks. It is somewhat deactivated in LANGUAGE, STORY and THEORY OF MIND tasks ( Glasser-2016 ).
