caudal part of dorsal secondary motor cortex

The term caudal part of dorsal secondary motor cortex refers to the more posterior of two sectors of dorsal premotor cortex in the macaque and the human. It is defined on the basis of internal structure, connections and function ( Matelli-2004 ). In both species it is located in the dorsal and rostral part of the precentral gyrus. In the human it comprises the dorsolateral part of area 6a alpha of Vogts. In the macaque it surrounds the superior precentral sulcus and is associated with area F2, which is subdivided into area F2d and area F2vr. The other sector is the rostral part of dorsal premotor cortex.

Also known as: caudal part of dorsal premotor cortex, area F2, dorsal sector of area 6, caudal part, dorsal premeotor cortex, caudal part, area PMDc, caudal part of dorsal 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'.
