rostral part of ventral premotor cortex

rostral part of ventral premotor cortex (PMVr)

The term rostral part of ventral premotor cortex (PMVr) refers to the more anterior of two areas of ventral premotor cortex (PMV) defined on the basis of internal structure, connections and function in the human ( Brodmann-1909) and macaque ( Geyer-2012 ). The other area is the caudal part of ventral premotor cortex (PMVc. PMVrt consists of two sectors. In the human they are area 44 and area 45. In the macaque they are area PMVrab and area PMVrc. Functionally, in the macaque, electrical stimulation of the area elicits coordinated goal-directed motor acts of the hand and/or mouth. Neuronal firing there is associated with visual inputs and motor actions toward three-dimensional objects.

Also known as: rostral part of ventral premotor cortex, area F5, ventral sector of area 6, rostral part, ventral premotor cortex, rostral part, area PMVr, rostral part of ventral secondary motor cortex

Models Where It Appears

Topographic Model of Human Cerebral Cortex

The topographic model of human cerebral cortex is a closed partitive hierarchical model of cerebral cortical structure in the human. The cerebral cortex is segmented on the basis of internal structure, connectivity, and/or functions of cortical areas. It is designed to update the comprehensive early twentieth century parcellations of Brodmann and of von Economo and Koskinas and their successors. A work in progress, it integrates the most authoritative, comprehensive, and recent parcellations and nomenclatures from peer-reviewed publications and neuroanatomical texts. For an equivalent model in the rodent, Search BrainInfo for ' Functional CNS Model - Rat '. This segmentation of the human cerebral cortex, based on a combination of internal structure, connectivity, and function, complements the classical segmentation of the cerebral cortex into lobes, lobules, and gyri based on sulcal patterns: For the classical segmentation, see ' cerebral cortex ' and click 'Locus in Brain Hierarchy'.
