  2. Frontal lobe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontal_lobe

    The most anterior rounded part of the frontal lobe (though not well-defined) is known as the frontal pole, one of the three poles of the cerebrum. [1] The frontal lobe is covered by the frontal cortex. [2] The frontal cortex includes the premotor cortex and the primary motor cortex – parts of the motor cortex.

  3. Lobes of the brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobes_of_the_brain

    The frontal lobe is located at the front of each cerebral hemisphere and positioned in front of the parietal lobe and above and in front of the temporal lobe.It is separated from the parietal lobe by a space between tissues called the central sulcus, and from the temporal lobe by a deep fold called the lateral sulcus, also called the Sylvian fissure.

  4. Inferior frontal gyrus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferior_frontal_gyrus

    Triangular part of inferior frontal gyrus (pars triangularis), (cortex between the ascending ramus and the horizontal ramus of the lateral sulcus). It may be associated with the ability to translate from a secondary or tertiary language back to one's native language.

  5. Paracentral lobule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paracentral_lobule

    It includes portions of the frontal and parietal lobes: [2] The anterior portion of the paracentral lobule is part of the frontal lobe and contains a little portion of Brodmann's area 6 (SMA): this is because the paracentral sulcus (branch of the cingulate sulcus) does not correspond to the precentral sulcus on the medial plane.

  6. Insular cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insular_cortex

    Importantly, this specific cortical circuit is different from those that relate to the cognitive aspects of language production (e.g., Broca’s area on the inferior frontal gyrus). [18] Subvocal, or silent, speech has also been shown to activate right insular cortex, further supporting the theory that the motor control of speech proceeds from ...

  7. Cranial fossa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cranial_fossa

    A cranial fossa is formed by the floor of the cranial cavity.. There are three distinct cranial fossae: [1] Anterior cranial fossa (fossa cranii anterior), housing the projecting frontal lobes of the brain [2]

  8. Limbic system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limbic_system

    Hypothalamus: a center for the limbic system, connected with the frontal lobes, septal nuclei, and the brain stem reticular formation via the medial forebrain bundle, with the hippocampus via the fornix, and with the thalamus via the mammillothalamic fasciculus; regulates many autonomic processes

  9. Limbic lobe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limbic_lobe

    The limbic lobe is an arc-shaped cortical region of the limbic system, on the medial surface of each cerebral hemisphere of the mammalian brain, consisting of parts of the frontal, parietal and temporal lobes.
