Anatomy and function
Multiple prefrontal regions contribute to working memory, planning and cognitive control. Different tasks recruit different extents, in networks with parietal and subcortical structures.
Where to look in the model
The anterior portion of the middle frontal gyrus is highlighted as a local prefrontal example.
What this view does not establish
This does not show the entire prefrontal cortex or the precise boundary of an executive-function network.
Open in 3DSources and precision
Cortex uses the FreeSurfer fsaverage5 template surface, with 10,242 vertices per hemisphere. Functional references use selected Destrieux sulcal and gyral parcels. Deep structures use fsaverage aseg segmentations. The Sereno2020 cerebellar research surface preserves folial geometry, but comes from another specimen; its assembled placement is schematic, without medical registration across templates. Arterial paths are manually drawn teaching schematics, not CTA/MRA reconstructions.
An educational schematic prototype for understanding spatial relationships. Item-by-item independent neuroanatomical review is pending. Functional highlights are not results of an individual examination and do not support individual diagnosis or treatment decisions.
