  Brodmann area 6 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brodmann area 6, or BA6, is part of the frontal cortex in the human brain.
Cytoarchitecturally it is bounded rostrally by the frontal region and caudally by the gigantopyramidal area 4 (Brodmann-1909).
Brodmann-1909 regarded it as topographically and cytoarchitecturally homologous to the human agranular frontal area 6 and noted that in the monkey area 4 is larger than area 6, while in the human area 6 is larger than area 4.

 Brodmann area 8 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brodmann area 8, or BA8, is part of the frontal cortex in the human brain.
Situated just anterior to the premotor cortex (BA6), it includes the frontal eye fields (so-named because they are believed to play an important role in the control of eye movements).
The term Brodmann area 8 refers to a cytoarchitecturally defined portion of the frontal lobe of the guenon.

 Encyclopedia: Brodmann area 4
Brodmann area 4 comprises the primary motor cortex of the human brain.
The borders of this area are: the precentral sulcus in front (anteriorly), the medial longitudinal fissure at the top (medially), the central sulcus in back (posteriorly), and the lateral sulcus along the bottom (laterally).
Because Brodmann area 4 is in the same general location as primary motor cortex, the homunculus here is called the motor homunculus.

Brodmann Areas in the Human Brain with an Emphasis on Vision and Language
A Brodmann area is a region in the brain cortex defined in many different species based on its cytoarchitecture.
Some of the original areas have been subdivided further and referred to, e.g., as "23a" and "23b".

For this we have to look at the premotor areas and how they interact with the basal ganglia to initiate movement and the cerebellum for the visual guidance of movement.

 The Human Brain
Brodmann assigned numbers to various brain regions by analyzing each area's cellular structure starting from the central sulcus [the boundary between the frontal and parietal lobes].
As you may notice, many of the areas that are involved in the same general cognitive functions are numbered sequentially (or almost).
Areas that perform the same tasks use essentially the same types of cells.

Several areas in the monkey dorsal visual pathway, including the dorsal part of the medial superior temporal area, have been found to contain cells responding to movements of a wide visual field, and are suggested to be involved in analyzing self-induced motion information.
In the lateral occipito-temporo-parietal cortex, the coherent movement specifically activated two separate areas; a posterior focus was located at the border of the right occipitotemporal gyri, and a dorsoanterior focus was located bilaterally in the temporoparietal cortex.
A fine anatomic localization using individual magnetic resonance images was performed for the bilateral activation in the temporoparietal cortex, which was found to be located mainly in the depth of the inferior parietal lobule and a small portion of the superior and middle temporal gyri.

 MedFriendly.com: Premotor cortex
The motor cortex is an area in the middle of the brain that is important for movement in various areas of the body.
Damage to the premotor cortex can cause spasticity (abnormal muscle movements), increased deep tendon reflexes (a shortening of a stretched muscle that is caused by a sharp tap), and motor apraxia (impaired performance of voluntary movements).
The premotor cortex is also known as the agranular cortex of Brodmann's area 6.

These areas show the difference in frontal activation between patients with silent ischemia and those with angina pectoris and the difference in the time course of activation between the frontal areas and the thalami.
Thus, the regional cerebral blood flow changes in Brodmann area 24 and Brodmann area 10 during myocardial ischemia are significantly greater in patients with angina pectoris than in patients with silent ischemia.
Although the regional cerebral blood flow increases in Brodmann area 24 and Brodmann area 10 entirely resolved by the baseline 3 scan, thalamic regional cerebral blood flow remained increased in both patient groups during the scan done after ischemia.

The pyramidal system consists of the primary motor cortex in the precentral gyrus (Brodmann's area 4); the premotor cortex (Brodmann's area 6) in the frontal lobe, the premotor cortex (Brodmann's areas 1, 2 and 3) in the parictal lobe; and the corticobulbar and corticospinal pathways.
Therefore, we can divide the brain's system for motor control into two major areas: the pyramidal or "selective control system," and the extra-pyramidal which might be considered to be the "habitual" or "automatic control system."
