area 14c - BrainInfo

area 14c (14c)

The term area 14c refers to one of two subdivisions of area 14 in the straight gyrus of the human frontal lobe. Defined on the basis of multiple stains, it is a narrow area located on the lower margin of the medial surface of the frontal lobe. On the medial surface it is bounded caudally by area 32pl and dorsally by area 10m. On the ventral surface it is bounded caudally by area 13a, and laterally by area 13b. On both surfaces it is bounded rostrally by the other subdivision, area 14r. For the relations of this segmentation and terminology to others, see Ongur-2003. Its equivalent in the macaque is area 14c (macaque). Unlike most prefrontal cortex, which is uniquely primate and granular, it may have an equivalent in the agranular cortex of the rat ( Wallis-2012 ). See orbital areas (rodent).

Models Where It Appears

orbitomedial prefrontal cortex hierarchy

refers to the organization of substructures of the orbitomedial prefrontal cortex of the human as described in Ongur-2003. The organization is the same in the macaque, except for a few minor differences in internal structure and names based on topology ( Carmichael-1994 ).

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'.
