A medial frontal motor region implicated in planning and sequencing actions, including self-initiated movement. It participates in interactions with basal ganglia and other motor systems.
A frontal cortical gyrus containing anatomically and functionally distinguishable subregions. Its left pars opercularis and pars triangularis are commonly associated with Broca's area.
A traditional label for left inferior-frontal territory, commonly associated with areas 44 and 45. It is heterogeneous: language-selective and domain-general regions can lie beside one another, and an anatomical label does not establish a single syntax function. The name commemorates Paul Broca.
Cortical regions anterior to motor and premotor territories, involved in diverse control, representational and task-dependent processes. An observed delay signal must be interpreted using its content and task context.
Medial prefrontal regions implicated, among other functions, in control over aversive events. Rat prelimbic and infralimbic subdivisions do not map one-to-one onto every human clinical construct.
A lateral prefrontal region studied extensively in delayed-response tasks. Activity can carry remembered stimulus and anticipated response information; a task must separate them before assigning a uniquely mnemonic function.
