area 9/46v (9/46v)
The term area 9/46v refers to one of two components of area 9/46 in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex of the human ( Petrides-2012 ) and the macaque ( Petrides-2009 ). Defined on the basis of multiple stains, it is the part of area 9/46 located venral to the middle frontal sulcus in the human and ventral to the principal sulcus in the macaque. The other component is area 9/46d. As granular prefrontal cortex, it has no equivalent in the rat ( Zilles-2012 ).
