The premotor cortex is now generally divided into four sections. [2] [3] [5] First it is divided into an upper (or dorsal) premotor cortex and a lower (or ventral) premotor cortex. Each of these is further divided into a region more toward the front of the brain (rostral premotor cortex) and a region more toward the back (caudal premotor cortex).

The function of the ventral lateral nucleus is to target efferents including the motor cortex, premotor cortex, and supplementary motor cortex. Therefore, its function helps the coordination and planning of movement. It also plays a role in the learning of movement. [2]
The ventral anterior nucleus receives neuronal inputs from the basal ganglia.Its main afferent fibres are from the globus pallidus.The efferent fibres from this nucleus pass into the premotor cortex for initiation and planning of movement.
The primary motor cortex and premotor cortex get information from the ventrolateral nucleus projections originating in the interposed nucleus and dentate nuclei. [1] Other dentate nucleus projections via thalamic pathway transmit information to prefrontal cortex and posterior parietal cortex . [ 1 ]
Layer V of cortex in primary motor cortex: Shape: Multipolar pyramidal -- some of the longest axons in the body. Function: Excitatory projection neuron to spinal cord: Neurotransmitter: Glutamate: Presynaptic connections: Superficial cortical layers, premotor cortex: Postsynaptic connections: Ventral horn of the spinal cord: Identifiers ...
Region S2 (secondary somatosensory cortex) divides into Area S2 and parietal ventral area. Area S2 is involved with specific touch perception and is thus integrally linked with the amygdala and hippocampus to encode and reinforce memories. Parietal ventral area is the somatosensory relay to the premotor cortex and somatosensory memory hub, BA5.
SLF III is the ventral component and originates in the supramarginal gyrus (rostral portion of the inferior parietal lobe) and terminates in the ventral premotor and prefrontal cortex (Brodmann 6, 44, and 46). SLF III connects the rostral inferior parietal cortex which receives information from the ventral precentral gyrus.
