area 4 of Brodmann (human)

area 4 of Brodmann (human) (4)

The term area 4 of Brodmann (human) refers to a subdivision of the cytoarchitecturally defined precentral region of cerebral cortex. In the human it is located in the precentral gyrus. Cytoarchitecturally the caudal boundary with the area 3 of Brodmann (human) does not coincide precisely with the floor of the central sulcus but lies variably in the banks of the postcentral gyrus and the precentral gyrus. The area also does not extend in all cases to the cingulate sulcus medially or to the end of the central sulcus ventrolaterally. It is bounded rostrally by the area 6 of Brodmann (human) ( Brodmann-1909 ).

Also known as: Area gigantopyramidalis, gigantopyramidal area 4, area 4 of Brodmann (human), precentral gigantopyramidal field, frontal core, Brodmann's area 4

NeuroNames is used as a term's source if no published source of the term has been found. In most cases, the term is an English translation of a commonly used Latin term. In some cases it is a Latin translation of an English term for which no published Latin equivalent has been found. Latin roots of words not found in the neuroanatomical literature are derived from Cassell's Latin Dictionary (Simpson-59).
