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
