----

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

  * *Top-down path to region*: Cerebral Cortex -> Anterior Lobe (NC.LOBE.ANT) -> [BrainCenterNC_PMC Premotor Cortex] (NC.PMC) -> Ventral Premotor Cortex (MCA.NC.VPMC) -> [BrainRegionNMA_NC_PMC_F4 Ventral Caudal Premotor Cortex] (NMA.NC.PMC.F4) (see [OverallMindMaps Mind Maps])
  * *Type*: cortex
  * *Quality*: L0
  * *Brain area*: [BrainAreaNMA Neocortical Brain - Motor Aggregation Area] (NMA)
  * *Area circuit*: Extensor Motor (XTM)
  * *Brodmann ID*: 06
  * *Role*: cortex.motor.extensor
  * *Function*: Sensory guidance of movement
  * *Notes to function*: 
   * 6VC
   *  Neurons are especially sensitive to objects in space immediately surrounding body
   *  move head, face and arm
