-
refers to the more anterior of two areas of ventral premotor cortex defined on the basis of internal structure, connections and function in the macaque ( Matelli-2004 ). Electrical stimulation of the area elicits coordinated goal-directed motor acts of the hand and/or mouth. Neuronal firing there is associated with visual inputs and motor actions toward three-dimensional objects. It consists of two sectors: area F5ab and area F5c. The other area is the caudal part of ventral premotor cortex (area F4).
