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

• Top-down path to region: Cerebral Cortex -> Anterior Lobe (NC.LOBE.ANT) -> Prefrontal Cortex (NC.AL.PFC) -> Orbitomedial Prefrontal Cortex (NC.AL.OMPFC) -> Medial Prefrontal Cortex (NC.AL.MPFC) -> Dorsomedial Prefrontal Cortex (NDM.NC.AL.DMPFC) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: cortex
• Quality: L0
• Brain area: Neocortical Brain - Decision Making Area (NDM)
• Area circuit: Motivatory Associations (MAS)
• Brodmann ID: 09
• Role: cortex.generic
• Function: Ongoing Extroverted Attention to Select Appropriate Response
• Notes to function:
  • upper MPFC, primary connections to the cingulate and the motor and premotor cortices
