The astragalus, which is known from four examples, is wide and short and contains a uniquely large posteromedial process.
It relays information from the taste area of the solitary nucleus to the ventral posteromedial nucleus of the thalamus.
As is true in other areas of the posteromedial cortex, the posterior cingulate cortex has no apparent connections to primary sensory or motor areas.
Particularly notable is the prominent structural role of the precuneus, a region that is homologous to the highly connected posteromedial cortex in the macaque.
This makes the posteromedial papillary muscle significantly more susceptible to ischemia.
The other tibial section attaches directly to the tibia, anterior to the posteromedial tibial crest, 6 cm distal to the joint line.
Posteromedial lateral suprasylvian motion area modulates direction but not orientation preference in area 17 of cats.
At this procedure, a second orifice was noted, and found to be 1.5 cm in diameter, lying posteromedial to the major one.
