Ventromedial Prefrontal Cortex

@@Home -> BiologicalLifeResearch -> BrainAreaNDM -> BrainRegionNDM_NC_AL_VMPFC

This page covers biological details of component Ventromedial Prefrontal Cortex. Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

Top-down path to region: Cortex -> Anterior Lobe (NC.LOBE.ANT) -> Prefrontal Cortex (NC.AL.PFC) -> Medial Prefrontal Cortex (NC.AL.MPFC) -> Ventromedial Prefrontal Cortex (NDM.NC.AL.VMPFC) (see Mind Maps)
Type: cortex
Brain area: Neocortical Brain - Decision Making Area
Brodmann ID: 11
Role: processor
Function: Ongoing Introverted Attention with Regard to Emotions and Feelings, Reward or Punishment
Notes to function: lower MPFC, primary connections to limbic and sensory cortices; Reward mediated behaviours
