Recent imaging studies of motor function provide new insights into the organization of the
premotor areas of the frontal lobe. The pre-supplementary motor area and the rostral portion�…

Brodmann's cytoarchitectonic map of the human cortex designates area 4 as cortex in the
anterior bank of the precentral sulcus and area 6 as cortex encompassing the precentral�…

The lateral premotor cortex (PM) of the macaque monkey is an anatomically multifaceted
area, which serves multiple sensorimotor and cognitive functions. While evidence for the�…

The premotor cortex (PM) refers to human Brodmann area 6 (BA6), and often anteriorly
adjacent areas BA44 and BA8 are also included. The function traditionally attributed to the�…

We examined interconnections between a portion of the prefrontal cortex and the premotor
areas in the frontal lobe to provide insights into the routes by which the prefrontal cortex�…

Recent data show that the ventral premotor cortex in both humans and monkeys has motor
and cognitive functions. The cognitive functions include space perception, action�…

Previous studies have provided evidence that the lateral premotor cortex (PMC) is involved
in representations triggered by attended sensory events. However, while the functional�…

Several areas on the medial surface of the frontal lobe in both monkeys and humans,
including the supplementary motor area and specific areas within the ventral bank of the�…

The cortical connections of the dorsal (PMd) and ventral (PMv) subdivisions of the premotor
area (PM, lateral area 6) were studied in four monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) through the use�…
