The dorsal and ventral premotor areas, together with the primary motor cortex, are believed to have major roles in preparing and executing limb movements. Recent studies have expanded our knowledge of the dorsal and ventral premotor areas, which occupy the lateral part of area 6 in the frontal cortex. It is becoming clear that these two premotor areas, through involvement in distinct cortical networks, take part in unique aspects of motor planning and decision making. New lines of evidence also implicate them lateral premotor areas in planning motor behavior and selecting actions.
