DRAW CLINICAL APPLICATIONBut the precise description of division of cortex into different areas of specialization given by BRODMANN , oversimplifies and can be misleadingAlso, the simple division of cortical areas in motor & sensory is erroneousHence, the main cortical areas should be described by their anatomical location till a satisfactory terminology has been devised to describe the various cortical areas
The premotor cortex can be distinguished from the primary motor cortex, Brodmann area 4, just posterior to it, based on two main anatomical markers. First, the primary motor cortex contains giant pyramidal cells called Betz cells in layer V, whereas giant pyramidal cells are less common and smaller in the premotor cortex. Second, the primary motor cortex is agranular: it lacks a layer IV marked by the presence of granule cells. The premotor cortex is dysgranular: it contains a faint layer IV.The premotor cortex can be distinguished from Brodmann area 46 of the prefrontal cortex, just anterior to it, by the presence of a fully formed granular layer IV in area 46. The premotor cortex is therefore anatomically a transition between the agranular motor cortex and the granular, six-layered prefrontal cortex
