  2. Ventromedial prefrontal cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventromedial_prefrontal_cortex

    The ventromedial prefrontal cortex ( vmPFC) is a part of the prefrontal cortex in the mammalian brain. The ventral medial prefrontal is located in the frontal lobe at the bottom of the cerebral hemispheres and is implicated in the processing of risk and fear, as it is critical in the regulation of amygdala activity in humans. [ 2]

  3. Orbitofrontal cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbitofrontal_cortex

    Orbital surface of left frontal lobe. The orbitofrontal cortex ( OFC) is a prefrontal cortex region in the frontal lobes of the brain which is involved in the cognitive process of decision-making. In non-human primates it consists of the association cortex areas Brodmann area 11, 12 and 13; in humans it consists of Brodmann area 10, 11 and 47 ...

  4. Ventrolateral prefrontal cortex - Wikipedia

    The VLPFC is outlined with a red border. The ventrolateral prefrontal cortex ( VLPFC) is a section of the prefrontal cortex located on the inferior frontal gyrus, bounded superiorly by the inferior frontal sulcus and inferiorly by the lateral sulcus. It is attributed to the anatomical structures of Brodmann's area (BA) 47, 45 and 44 (considered ...

    224850. Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy. [ edit on Wikidata] In mammalian brain anatomy, the prefrontal cortex ( PFC) covers the front part of the frontal lobe of the cerebral cortex. It is the association cortex in the frontal lobe. [ 2] The PFC contains the Brodmann areas BA8, BA9, BA10, BA11, BA12, BA13, BA14, BA24, BA25, BA32, BA44, BA45 ...

  6. Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsolateral_prefrontal_cortex

    Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex ( DLPFC or DL-PFC) is an area in the prefrontal cortex of the primate brain. It is one of the most recently derived parts of the human brain. It undergoes a prolonged period of maturation which lasts into adulthood. [ 1] The DLPFC is not an anatomical structure, but rather a ...

  7. Somatic marker hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatic_marker_hypothesis

    Frontal lobe damage, particularly to the vmPFC, results in impaired abilities to organize and plan behavior and learn from previous mistakes, without affecting intellect in terms of working memory, attention, and language comprehension and expression. [4] [5] vmPFC patients also have difficulty expressing and experiencing appropriate emotions.

  8. Frontostriatal circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontostriatal_circuit

    Frontostriatal circuit. Frontostriatal circuits are neural pathways that connect frontal lobe regions with the striatum and mediate motor, cognitive, and behavioural functions within the brain. [ 1] They receive inputs from dopaminergic, serotonergic, noradrenergic, and cholinergic cell groups that modulate information processing. [ 2]

  9. 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 ...
