This large area of the frontal cortex is believed to play a role in planning complex, coordinated movements. </p><p>Brodmann area 6 is also called <b>agranular frontal area 6</b> in humans because it lacks an internal granular cortical layer (layer IV). It is a subdivision of the <a href="/wiki/Cytoarchitecture" title="Cytoarchitecture">cytoarchitecturally</a> defined precentral region of cerebral cortex. In the human brain, it is located on the portions of the <a href="/wiki/Precentral_gyrus" title="Precentral gyrus">precentral gyrus</a> that are not occupied by <a href="/wiki/Brodmann_area_4" title="Brodmann area 4">Brodmann area 4</a>; furthermore, BA6 extends onto the caudal portions of the <a href="/wiki/Superior_frontal_gyrus" title="Superior frontal gyrus">superior frontal</a> and <a href="/wiki/Middle_frontal_gyrus" title="Middle frontal gyrus">middle frontal gyri</a>.
