The term area 7m refers to a part of posterior cingulate cortex located in the posterior cingulate gyrus. It is bounded caudally by area POS2, dorsally by area 7Pm, rostrally by area PCV and area 31pd, and ventrally by area POS1 and area v23ab. Defined in the human by multiple criteria, it is fMRI-activated in WORKING MEMORY, STORY, RELATIONAL, FACE, FACES, EMOTION, AND THEORY OF MIND tasks. It is deactivated in a PLACE task. It can be activated or deactivated in LANGUAGE tasks depending on the other task with which it is compared ( Glasser-2016 ).
