area MST
Acronym: MST
The term area MST refers to a functionally defined ( unit activity correlated with speed of motion ) cortical area located in the anterior bank of the superior temporal sulcus near the supramarginal gyrus in the macaque ( Duffy-1997 ). In the human it is located near the boundary between the temporal lobe and the occipital lobe ( Glasser-2016 ). In humans it is distinguished by multiple criteria, including dense myelination, functional connectivity, and involvement in perception of motion. It is part of the MT+ complex. Other authors have referred to the same topological area as overlapping area MSTv, hOC5, or hOC5v ( Glasser-2016 ).
