  2. Frontal lobe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontal_lobe

    The frontal lobe is the largest of the four major lobes of the brain in mammals, and is located at the front of each cerebral hemisphere (in front of the parietal lobe and the temporal lobe). It is parted from the parietal lobe by a groove between tissues called the central sulcus and from the temporal lobe by a deeper groove called the lateral ...

  3. Cerebral cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_cortex

    The anterior cerebral artery supplies the anterior portions of the brain, including most of the frontal lobe. The middle cerebral artery supplies the parietal lobes, temporal lobes, and parts of the occipital lobes. The middle cerebral artery splits into two branches to supply the left and right hemisphere, where they branch further.

  4. Lobes of the brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobes_of_the_brain

    The insular cortex is a portion of the cerebral cortex folded deep within the lateral sulcus (the fissure separating the temporal lobe from the parietal and frontal lobes). The insular cortex has an important function for sending axons to the amygdala and responding to tones and somatosensory stimulation. [12]

  5. Cerebrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebrum

    The lobes are classified based on their overlying neurocranial bones. [4] A smaller lobe is the insular lobe, a part of the cerebral cortex folded deep within the lateral sulcus that separates the temporal lobe from the parietal and frontal lobes, is located within each hemisphere of the mammalian brain.

  6. Middle frontal gyrus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_frontal_gyrus

    The middle frontal gyrus makes up about one-third of the frontal lobe of the human brain. (A gyrus is one of the prominent "bumps" or "ridges" on the cerebral cortex . The middle frontal gyrus, like the inferior frontal gyrus and the superior frontal gyrus , is more of a region in the frontal gyrus than a true gyrus.

  7. Motor cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_cortex

    The motor cortex is the region of the cerebral cortex involved in the planning, control, and execution of voluntary movements. The motor cortex is an area of the frontal lobe located in the posterior precentral gyrus immediately anterior to the central sulcus.

  8. Frontal eye fields - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontal_eye_fields

    The frontal eye fields (FEF) are a region located in the frontal cortex, more specifically in Brodmann area 8 or BA8, [1] of the primate brain. In humans, it can be more accurately said to lie in a region around the intersection of the middle frontal gyrus with the precentral gyrus , consisting of a frontal and parietal portion. [ 2 ]

  9. Brodmann area 6 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brodmann_area_6

    Brodmann area 6 is a cytoarchitecturally defined portion of the frontal lobe of the guenon.Brodmann-1909 regarded it as topographically and cytoarchitecturally homologous to the human agranular frontal area 6 and noted that, in the monkey, area 4 is larger than area 6, whereas, in the human, area 6 is larger than area 4.
