rolandic areas

The term rolandic areas refers to a set of four functionally defined areas that surround the central sulcus (aka Rolandic fissure) in primates. The primary motor cortex (MI) and primary somesthetic area (SI) meet at the bottom of the central sulcus; the supplementary motor cortex (MII) and secondary somesthetic area (SII) are located more distally ( Woolsey-1958 ).

Also known as: rolandic sensory and motor fields, rolandic areas
