area PGp (PGp)

The term area PGp (PGp) refers to a cortical structure located in inferior parietal cortex (IPC) a region that is much expanded in humans relative to macaques and chimpanzees. It is bounded posteriorly and inferiorly by the MT+ complex and MT+ neighbors. Defined by multiple criteria, it is fMRI activated in PLACE, SOCIAL, and MOTOR CUE tasks and deactivated in a FACE task ( Glasser-2016 ). Updated 27 May 2025.

Also known as: area PGp, parietal part A/parocc of Campbell, area 39 of Brodmann, area 90 of Vogt and Vogt, area 42 of Flechsig, area 39/39p of Sarkisov, area PG of von Economo
