area 11 (11)

The term area 11 refers to an area occupying the middle of the orbital gyri on the underside and ventromedial margin of the frontal lobe in the human. Identified on the basis of multiple stains it is bounded rostrally by area 10, laterally by area 47, medially by area 10, and caudally, from lateral to medial, by area 47, area 13, and area 14. It has two subdivisions: area 11m and area 11l. It is one of ten subdivisions of the orbitomedial prefrontal cortex in the human; the others besides those mentioned are the agranular orbitofrontal cortex, area 24, area 25, area 32ac, and area 32pl. For more on the relations of this segmentation and terminology to others, see Ongur-2003. The equivalent area in the macaque is area 11 (macaque). As granular prefrontal cortex, it has no equivalent in the rat ( Wallis-2012 ).

Models Where It Appears
orbitomedial prefrontal cortex hierarchy

refers to the organization of substructures of the orbitomedial prefrontal cortex of the human as described in Ongur-2003. The organization is the same in the macaque, except for a few minor differences in internal structure and names based on topology ( Carmichael-1994 ).

Topographic Model of Human Cerebral Cortex

The topographic model of human cerebral cortex is a closed partitive hierarchical model of cerebral cortical structure in the human. The cerebral cortex is segmented on the basis of internal structure, connectivity, and/or functions of cortical areas. It is designed to update the comprehensive early twentieth century parcellations of Brodmann and of von Economo and Koskinas and their successors. A work in progress, it integrates the most authoritative, comprehensive, and recent parcellations and nomenclatures from peer-reviewed publications and neuroanatomical texts. For an equivalent model in the rodent, Search BrainInfo for ' Functional CNS Model - Rat '. This segmentation of the human cerebral cortex, based on a combination of internal structure, connectivity, and function, complements the classical segmentation of the cerebral cortex into lobes, lobules, and gyri based on sulcal patterns: For the classical segmentation, see ' cerebral cortex ' and click 'Locus in Brain Hierarchy'.
