area F2vr
Acronym:
The term area F2vr refers to the more ventral and rostral of two areas of the caudal part of dorsal secondary motor cortex (F2) in the macaque ( Matelli-2004 ). The smaller of the two, it occupies the ventrorostral corner of the caudal part. It is defined on the basis of internal structure, connections and function. Its major inputs are from area MIP and area V6A with a minor projection from area 46 of Walker. Neurons there respond to visual and tactile as well as proprioceptive stimulation. Individual neurons integrate information about target location and the arm to be used in a reaching task. The more dorsal of the two areas is area F2d.
