intermediate frontal area 8


The term intermediate frontal area 8, or Area frontalis intermedia, refers to a subdivision of the cytoarchitecturally defined frontal region of cerebral cortex. In the human it is located primarily in the superior frontal gyrus extending from the cingulate sulcus on the medial surface over the margin of the hemisphere to the middle frontal gyrus. Cytoarchitecturally it is bounded caudally by the agranular frontal area 6 and ventrally by the granular frontal area 9.
