Projection of Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) coordinates of previous angular
gyrus (AG) subdivisions on a schematic sagittal outline (left, at
x = −30 mm) and a zoom centered at the AG (right).
A = Seghier and others
(2010), B = Nelson and
others (2010), C = Price
GR and Ansari (2011), and D = Sharp and others (2010). Dorsal coordinates
are shown in blue and ventral coordinates are shown in red. A third more ventral
subdivision at z = +20 mm is shown in magenta (according to Seghier and others 2010).
Average locations are illustrated with a star (blue for dorsal subdivision at
[x = −35, y = −64, z = 45], red
for ventral subdivision at [x = −42, y = −69,
z = 31]). The average locations here are remarkably similar to the
two subdivisions used in a recent seed-based resting-state functional connectivity
study over a large sample of 1000 subjects (noted as PGpd and PGpv in Table 4 and
Figure 30 of Yeo and others
2011). Approximate location of the center of gravity of cytoarchitectonic
areas PGa and PGp (Caspers and
others 2008) is indicated by “+” in blue and red, respectively. BA = Brodmann
area.
