Our goal in this review is to provide an anatomical framework for the analysis of the motor
functions of the medial wall of the hemisphere in humans and laboratory primates�…

The somatotopic organization of the supplementary motor area (SMA) is commonly held to
consist of a rostrocaudal sequence of orofacial, forelimb, and hindlimb representations�…

We examined the topographic organization of corticospinal neurons in the four premotor
areas on the medial wall of the hemisphere of macaques. These motor areas include the�…

The motor cortex includes several areas in the frontal agranular cortex. These areas receive
inputs from sensory pathways, motor control structures, other cortical areas, and from�…

The supplementary motor area (SMA) occupies an expanse of frontal agranular cortex
rostral to the primary motor cortex (MI), largely in the mesial surface of the hemisphere. It is�…

The two subdivisions of the supplementary motor area (SMA), the pre‐SMA (rostrally) and
SMA‐proper (caudally), exhibit distinct functional properties and clear differences with�…

We used anterograde transport of wheat germ agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase to
examine the pattern of spinal termination of efferents from the supplementary motor area�…

There has been a substantial change in our concepts about the cortical motor areas. It is
now clear that the frontal lobe of primates contains at least six premotor areas that project�…

The monkey mesial area 6 comprises two distinct cytoarchitectonic areas: F3
[supplementary motor area properly defined (SMA‐proper)], located caudally, and F6 (pre�…
