Für was sind die Frontallappen zuständig?
Der Frontallappen bildet einen von vier Teilen des Neokortex, die jeweils unterschiedliche Aufgaben übernehmen. Beim Menschen macht er mehr als 30 \% der Großhirnrinde aus. Der Frontallappen erfüllt motorische Funktionen, d. h., er steuert und kontrolliert also Bewegungen.
Was macht der Orbitofrontale Kortex?
Der Orbitofrontalkortex liegt kranial der Orbita, was ihm seinen Namen gibt. Er spielt ein wichtige Rolle bei der Entscheidungsfindung. Das Kortexareal besitzt Verbindungen zum Thalamus, und über den mediodorsalen Nucleus des Thalamus zum Nucleus accumbens (Belohnungszentrum).
What is the function of the orbitof prefrontal cortex in humans?
Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy. The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is a prefrontal cortex region in the frontal lobes in the brain which is involved in the cognitive processing 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.
What is the difference between the dorsolateral and ventrolateral prefrontal cortex?
The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex contains BA8, including the frontal eye fields. The ventrolateral prefrontal cortex contains BA45 which is part of Broca’s area. Some researchers also include BA44 the other part of Broca’s area.
Does the orbitofrontal cortex represent the reward value of taste?
DOI: 10.1016/S0278-2626(03)00277-X Abstract The orbitofrontal cortex contains the secondary taste cortex, in which the reward value of taste is represented.
What are the Brodmann areas of the human prefrontal cortex?
The table below shows different ways to subdivide parts of the human prefrontal cortex based upon Brodmann areas. The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex is composed of the BA8, BA9, BA10, and BA46. The ventrolateral prefrontal cortex is composed of areas BA45, BA47, and BA44.
