Cortical Area 2


Our findings reveal the existence of two previously undescribed subdivisions within the dorsal and ventral domains of the rat temporal association cortical area 2 (Te2) which we have termed Te2d and Te2v, respectively.  

Unlike other New World Monkeys, but much like the macaque monkey, cebus monkeys possess a proprioceptive cortical area 2 and a well developed area 5, which is associated with motor planning and the generation of internal body coordinates necessary for visually guided reaching, grasping, and manipulation.
