area 2 of Brodmann (human) (2)

The term area 2 of Brodmann (human) refers to a subdivision of the cytoarchitecturally defined postcentral region of cerebral cortex. In the human it is located primarily in the caudal portion of the postcentral gyrus and the rostral lip of the postcentral sulcus with a caudal extension along the intraparietal sulcus. Cytoarchitecturally it is bounded rostrally by the area 1 of Brodmann (human) and caudally by the area 5 of Brodmann (human), the area 7 of Brodmann (human) and the area 40 of Brodmann (human) ( Brodmann-1909 ).

NeuroNames is used as a term's source if no published source of the term has been found. In most cases, the term is an English translation of a commonly used Latin term. In some cases it is a Latin translation of an English term for which no published Latin equivalent has been found. Latin roots of words not found in the neuroanatomical literature are derived from Cassell's Latin Dictionary (Simpson-59).
