Document Summary
The process that allows information processing and behavior to vary adaptively from moment to moment depending on current goals, rather than remaining rigid and inflexible . The most caudal part of the frontal lobe contains the primary motor region. Here the ventromedial zone is also known as the orbitofrontal cortex. There are extensive projections to and from the prefrontal cortex to all other lobes of the brain. The lateral prefrontal cortex is involved with wide ranging aspects of executive. Short-term retention of information retrieved from cortical association areas. Strategic behavioral planning and for the development of knowledge. The orbitofrontal cortex (ofc) is a prefrontal cortex region in the frontal lobes in the brain that is involved in the cognitive processing of decision making. In nonhuman primates, association cortex areas include brodmann areas 11, 12, and 13. In humans, they include brodmann areas 10, 11, and 47.
