This page covers biological details of component Parietal Ventral Cortex. Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

• Top-down path to region: Cerebral Cortex -> Parietal Lobe (NC.LOBE.PAR) -> Postcentral Gyrus (NC.PG) -> Lateral Parietal Cortex (NC.PG.LPC) -> Parietal Ventral Cortex (NCP.NC.PG.PV) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: cortex
• Quality: L0
• Brain area: Neocortical Brain - Conscious Personality Area (NCP)
• Area circuit: Neocortical Somatic Aggregation (SOM)
• Brodmann ID: 40
• Role: cortex.generic
• Function: Creating somatosensory memory, attention, learning and memory
• Notes to function:
  • BA5/PMC
