The premotor cortex (PM) refers to human Brodmann area 6 (BA6), and often anteriorly adjacent areas BA44 and BA8 are also included. The function traditionally attributed to the PM is the preparation and the organization of movements and actions (Wise, 1985). However, with the introduction of imaging methods, which allow the neural correlates of behavioral functions to be measured online, premot...

The human ventral visual stream consists of several areas that are considered processing stages essential for perception and recognition. A fundamental microanatomical feature differentiating areas is cytoarchitecture, which refers to the distribution, size, and density of cells across cortical layers. Because cytoarchitectonic structure is measured in 20-micron-thick histological slices of pos...

Nephrosclerosis can be defined by the presence of glomerulosclerosis, tubular atrophy, interstitial fibrosis, and arteriosclerosis on renal biopsy. Chronic kidney disease is identified clinically by a reduction in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and has been characterized histologically by nephrosclerosis. Many relatively healthy older adults have been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease bec...
