  2. Brodmann area 6 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brodmann_area_6

    Brodmann area 6 (BA6) is part of the frontal cortex in the human brain. Situated just anterior to the primary motor cortex , it is composed of the premotor cortex and, medially, the supplementary motor area (SMA). This large area of the frontal cortex is believed to play a role in planning complex, coordinated movements.

  3. Supplementary eye field - Wikipedia

    Figure 3. Brodmann Brain Map: The SEF is located in the rostral supplementary motor area which corresponds to Area 6 in the above map. For reference, the FEF is located in Area 8. The eye field originally defined by Ferrier's map of the frontal cortex extended medially to the dorsal surface of the brain (Fig. 2). [9]

  4. Supplementary motor area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supplementary_motor_area

    The supplementary motor area (SMA) is a part of the motor cortex of primates that contributes to the control of movement. It is located on the midline surface of the hemisphere just in front of (anterior to) the primary motor cortex leg representation. In monkeys, the SMA contains a rough map of the body.

  5. Brodmann area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brodmann_area

    For example, Brodmann areas 1, 2 and 3 are the primary somatosensory cortex; area 4 is the primary motor cortex; area 17 is the primary visual cortex; and areas 41 and 42 correspond closely to primary auditory cortex.

  6. Frontal eye fields - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontal_eye_fields

    Brodmann area 8. The frontal eye fields (FEF) are a region located in the frontal cortex, more specifically in Brodmann area 8 or BA8, [1] of the primate brain.In humans, it can be more accurately said to lie in a region around the intersection of the middle frontal gyrus with the precentral gyrus, consisting of a frontal and parietal portion. [2]

  7. Premotor cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premotor_cortex

    The medial extension of area 6, onto the midline surface of the hemisphere, is the site of the supplementary motor area, or SMA. The premotor cortex can be distinguished from the primary motor cortex, Brodmann area 4, just posterior to it, based on two main anatomical markers.

  8. Brodmann area 8 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brodmann_area_8

    The term Brodmann area 8 refers to a cytoarchitecturally defined portion of the frontal lobe of the guenon. Located rostral to the arcuate sulcus , it was not considered by Brodmann-1909 to be topographically homologous to the intermediate frontal area 8 of the human.

  9. Ventrolateral prefrontal cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventrolateral_prefrontal...

    It is attributed to the anatomical structures of Brodmann's area (BA) 47, 45 and 44 (considered the subregions of the VLPFC – the anterior, mid and posterior subregions). Specific functional distinctions have been presented between the three Brodmann subregions of the VLPFC.
