We wanted to define the position of the primary motor tongue area (MTA) by using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to display the MTA in relation to the inferolateral segment of the central sulcus (CS). The anatomy of the inferolateral segment was analyzed in 24 healthy subjects, using th...
