Preferred Label : Brodmann (1909) area 10;
Uberon definition : Brodmann area 10, or BA10, is part of the frontal cortex in the human brain. BA10
encompasses the most anterior part of the frontal cortex, known as the frontopolar
region. This area is believed to play a part in strategic processes involved in memory
retrieval and executive function. This area is also called frontopolar area 10, and
it refers to a subdivision of the cytoarchitecturally defined frontal region of cerebral
cortex. It occupies the most rostral portions of the superior frontal gyrus and the
middle frontal gyrus. In humans, on the medial aspect of the hemisphere it is bounded
ventrally by the superior rostral sulcus (H). It does not extend as far as the cingulate
sulcus. Cytoarchitecturally it is bounded dorsally by the granular frontal area 9,
caudally by the middle frontal area 46, and ventrally by the orbital area 47 and by
the rostral area 12 or, in an early version of Brodmann's cortical map (Brodmann-1909),
the prefrontal Brodmann area 11-1909.;
