rostral part of ventral secondary motor cortex
Acronym:
The term rostral part of ventral secondary motor cortex refers to the more anterior of two areas of ventral secondary motor cortex defined on the basis of internal structure, connections and function in the macaque ( Matelli-2004 ). Electrical stimulation of the area elicits coordinated goal-directed motor acts of the hand and/or mouth. Neuronal firing there is associated with visual inputs and motor actions toward three-dimensional objects. It consists of two sectors: area F5ab and area F5c. The other area is the caudal part of ventral secondary motor cortex (area F4).
Also known as: area F5, area PMVr, rostral part of ventral premotor cortexNeuroNames ID : 3165
