caudal part of ventral secondary motor cortex

The term caudal part of ventral secondary motor cortex refers to the more posterior of two areas of ventral premotor cortex defined in the precentral gyrus of the macaque on the basis of internal structure, connections and function ( Matelli-2004 ). Electrical stimulation of the area elicits movements of the upper body: arms, neck, face and mouth. Neurons in the area fire in response to touch and to visual stimuli. The response fields of neurons that respond to stimuli of both modalities cover the same body part(s) regardless of the direction of gaze. Some fire during arm movements toward or a way from the body, others during movements of the face and mouth. The caudal part of ventral premotor cortex in the macaque is also known as area F4. The more anterior area is the rostral part of ventral premotor cortexx (area F5).

Also known as: caudal part of ventral premotor cortex, area F4, ventral sector of area 6, caudal part, ventral premotor cortex, caudal part, area PMVc, caudal 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'.
