  2. Broca's area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broca's_area

    Broca's area, or the Broca area (/ ˈ b r oʊ k ə /, [1] [2] [3] also UK: / ˈ b r ɒ k ə /, US: / ˈ b r oʊ k ɑː / [4]), is a region in the frontal lobe of the dominant hemisphere, usually the left, of the brain [5] with functions linked to speech production. Language processing has been linked to Broca's area since Pierre Paul Broca ...

  3. Brodmann area 44 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brodmann_area_44

    Brodmann area 44, or BA44, is part of the frontal cortex in the human brain.Situated just anterior to premotor cortex and on the lateral surface, inferior to BA9.. This area is also known as pars opercularis (of the inferior frontal gyrus), and it refers to a subdivision of the cytoarchitecturally defined frontal region of cerebral cortex.

    [1] [2] [3] There are also specific functional differences in activity in the right and left VLPFC. [4] Neuroimaging studies employing various cognitive tasks have shown that the right VLPFC region is a critical substrate of control. [4] At present, two prominent theories feature the right VLPFC as a key functional region.

  5. 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 ]

  6. Brain asymmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_asymmetry

    Broca's area is located in the left hemisphere prefrontal cortex above the cingulate gyrus in the third frontal convolution. [16] Broca's area was discovered by Paul Broca in 1865. This area handles speech production. Damage to this area would result in Broca aphasia which causes the patient to become unable to formulate coherent appropriate ...

  7. Brodmann area 45 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brodmann_area_45

    Brodmann area 45 (BA45), is part of the frontal cortex in the human brain.It is situated on the lateral surface, inferior to BA9 and adjacent to BA46.. This area in humans occupies the triangular part of inferior frontal gyrus (H) and, surrounding the anterior horizontal limb of the lateral sulcus (H), a portion of the orbital part of the inferior frontal gyrus (H).

  8. Visual cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_cortex

    The visual cortex of the brain is the area of the cerebral cortex that processes visual information.It is located in the occipital lobe.Sensory input originating from the eyes travels through the lateral geniculate nucleus in the thalamus and then reaches the visual cortex.

  9. Brodmann area 46 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brodmann_area_46

    Brodmann area 46, or BA46, is part of the frontal cortex in the human brain.It is between BA10 and BA45.. BA46 is known as middle frontal area 46.In the human brain it occupies approximately the middle third of the middle frontal gyrus and the most rostral portion of the inferior frontal gyrus.
