Preferred Label : Brodmann (1909) area 31;
Uberon definition : Brodmann area 31, also known as dorsal posterior cingulate area 31, is a subdivision
of the cytoarchitecturally defined cingulate region of the cerebral cortex. In the
human it occupies portions of the posterior cingulate gyrus and medial aspect of the
parietal lobe. Approximate boundaries are the cingulate sulcus dorsally and the parieto-occipital
sulcus caudally. It partially surrounds the subparietal sulcus, the ventral continuation
of the cingulate sulcus in the parietal lobe. Cytoarchitecturally it is bounded rostrally
by the ventral anterior cingulate area 24, ventrally by the ventral posterior cingulate
area 23, dorsally by the gigantopyramidal area 4 and preparietal area 5 and caudally
by the superior parietal area 7 (H) (Brodmann-1909).;
