Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) we have evaluated the
anatomical location of the motor hand area. The segment of the precentral
gyrus that most often contained motor hand function was a knob-like
structure, that is shaped like an omega or epsilon in the axial plane and
like a hook in the sagittal plane. On the cortical surface of cadaver
specimens this precentral knob corresponded precisely to the characteristic
'middle knee' of the central sulcus that has been described by various
anatomists in the last century. We were then able to show that this knob is
a reliable landmark for identifying the precentral gyrus directly. We
therefore conclude that neural elements involved in motor hand function are
located in a characteristic 'precentral knob' which is a reliable landmark
for identifying the precentral gyrus under normal and pathological
conditions. It faces and forms the 'middle knee' of the central sulcus, is
located just at the cross point between the precentral sulcus and the
central sulcus, and is therefore also visible on the cortical surface.
