 | Cytoarchitecturally bounded rostrally by the preparietal area 5 and the caudal postcentral area 2; caudally by the peristriate area 19; and medially by the dorsal posterior cingulate area 31. |
| Cytoarchitecturally bounded dorsocaudally by the intermediate frontal area 8, caudally by the agranular frontal area 6, and ventrally by the frontopolar area 10, the middle frontal area 46 and the opercular area 44. |
| Cytoarchitecturally bounded on the rostral and lateral aspects of the hemisphere by the frontopolar area 10, the orbital area 47, and the triangular area 45; on the medial surface it is bounded dorsally by the area 12 and caudally by the subgenual area 25. |
| BASIC CEREBRAL CORTEX FUNCTION OTHER THAN VISION (5875 words) |
| Fibers from the medial geniculate nucleus of the thalamus terminate in layer 4 of the primary auditory cortex (Brodmann area 41). |
| Brodmann area 42 is the auditory association cortex which probably includes among its functions the discrimination of sequences of sound patterns. |
| The posterior and lower portion of area 6 is known as the premotor cortex (PMC), whereas the anterior and upper portion of area 6 is known as the supplementary motor area (SMA). |
