| The term supramarginal area 40 (H), or Area supramarginalis (H), refers to a subdivision of the cytoarchitecturally defined parietal region of cerebral cortex. In the human it is located primarily in the supramarginal gyrus surrounding the posterior ascending limb of lateral sulcus (H). It is bounded approximately by the intraparietal sulcus, the inferior postcentral sulcus the posterior subcentral sulcus and the lateral sulcus. Cytoarchitecturally it is bounded caudally by the angular area 39 (H), rostrally and dorsally by the caudal postcentral area 2, and ventrally by the subcentral area 43 and the superior temporal area 22. |
