The term area V6 refers to a functionally defined cortical area located on the medial surface of the cerebral hemisphere, in the posterior (occipital bank) of the parieto-occipital sulcus of the human. In the macaque it is located in the anterior bank at the bottom of the sulcus. In both it is located between area V2 and area V6A. It is distinguished by multiple criteria, including dense myelination, functional connectivity, and involvement in working memory. It is part of dorsal stream visual cortex. Other authors have referred to the same topological area as 112 ( Glasser-2016; Fattori-2009 ).
