area PFt ( PFt )

The term area PFt refers to a cortical structure located in the anterior half of inferior parietal cortex, a region much expanded in humans relative to macaques and chimpanzees. It is bounded dorsally by area 2, caudally by area AIP, rostrally by area 1, and ventrally by area PF and area PFop. Defined by multiple criteria, it is fMRI-activated in EMOTION and SOCIAL tasks. It is deactivated in a LANGUAGE task and more deactivated in a FACES task. Other authors have referred to the same topological area as 72 and 88 of the Vogts ( Glasser-2016 ).
