Precentral gyrus function
Primary motor cortex; execution of movement (distal muscles)
Superior Frontal gyrus association area
Lateral pre-motor area (posterior region of gyrus – ant. to area 4)
Superior Frontal gyrus function
motor programming, sensory guidance of limb movements, initiation and sequencing of mvmts.
Middle Frontal gyrus association area
Frontal Eye Fields (posterior region of Middle gyrus)
Middle Frontal gyrus function
voluntary eye movements/conjugate gaze
Inferior Frontal gyrus association area
Pars Opercularis
Pars Triangularis
Pars Opercularis Pars Triangularis are know as what
Collectively the two areas are known as Broca’s Area;
Inferior Frontal gyrus function
associated with motor aspects of speech
Prefrontal area areas
Dorsolateral prefrontal, Vetrolateral prefrontal, Dorsolateral premotor, Ventrolateral premotor
Prefrontal area areas
Dorsolateral prefrontal, Vetrolateral prefrontal, Dorsolateral premotor, Ventrolateral premotor
Dorsolateral prefrontal
– task switching, working memory, inhibition
Vetrolateral prefrontal
risk/reward, motivation, threat detection
Dorsolateral premotor
plan selection, initiation/set
Ventrolateral premotor
visually guided reaching
Parietal Lobe anterior border
central sulcus
parietal lobe inferior border
lateral sulcus
Major functions - frontal lobe
movement, planning and programming of movement, executive function, personality, desire, and consequences of action, motor aspects of speech, attention/awareness, and voluntary conjugate eye movements
Major functions - parietal lobe
somatosensation, higher perceptions (integration) related to external sensory inputs – mainly from somatic, visual, and hearing areas
