  Brodmann area 46 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brodmann area 46, or BA46, is part of the frontal cortex in the human brain.
This area is known as middle frontal area 46.
Cytoarchitecturally it is bounded dorsally by the granular frontal area 9, rostroventrally by the frontopolar area 10 and caudally by the triangular area 45 (Brodmann-1909).

 The Human Brain
Brodmann assigned numbers to various brain regions by analyzing each area's cellular structure starting from the central sulcus [the boundary between the frontal and parietal lobes].
As you may notice, many of the areas that are involved in the same general cognitive functions are numbered sequentially (or almost).
Areas that perform the same tasks use essentially the same types of cells.

A BSTR ACT Postmortem prefrontal cortices (PFC) (Brodmann's areas 10 and 46), temporal cortices (Brodmann's area 22), hippocampi, caudate nuclei, and cerebella of schizophrenia patients and their matched nonpsychiatric subjects were compared for reelin (RELN) mRNA and reelin (R ELN) protein content.
In all of the brain areas studied, R ELN and its mRNA were significantly reduced (50%) in patients with schizophrenia; this decrease was similar in patients affected by undifferentiated or paranoid schizophrenia.
In Brodmann's area 46, these findings are predominantly the result of a reduction in the interneuronal neuropil in layer II.

 The Spatial Brain   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Other areas of the human brain which are called upon during spatial tasks include the frontal lobes which are considered as crucial for remembering a spatial location.
In a region in the middle of the frontal cortex (Brodmann's area 46 in the illustration), scientists hypothesised that they would find the human spatial working memory circuits (just in front of an area specialised for controlling eye movements (frontal eye field).
A region in the lower left frontal cortex (area 47 in the illustration) showed sustained activation during pauses in working memory tasks, thus clearly differentiating itself from the spatial working memory area.

Based on the Talairach coordinates, these foci are located in the anterior part of Brodmann's area 6 in the middle frontal gyrus.
Tasks involving complex finger movements activate area 6 (Catalan et al., 1998; Sadato et al., 1996) so without further control experiments we can not rule out the possibility that this activation is associated with the finger movements necessary to register the bids.
Tasks involving verbal reasoning activate area 46 in the left hemisphere (Goel et al., 1998), and it is possible that this subject was attempting to solve the bidding task through verbal reasoning.

Using immunocytochemistry and Western immunoblotting, we compared the localization and levels of group II mGluRs in Brodmann's area 46 of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex from patients with schizophrenia and normal subjects.
Consistent with previous reports, we found that immunolabeling of group II mGluRs is prominent in Brodmann's area 46.
We conclude that while the function of group II mGluRs in Brodmann's area 46 of dorsolateral prefrontal cortex may be altered in patients with schizophrenia, this is not evident at the level of protein expression using an antibody against mGluR2 and mGluR3.

Finally, it is shown in a study of monkeys that removal of the ventral prefrontal area 12 (including 45 A) impairs the ability of monkeys to relearn a visual associative task (visual matching), even though there were no demands on working memory.
However, strictly speaking, it is the animal that selects, and not one area of the brain.
It comprises the inferior prefrontal convexity (areas 45 A, 12/47) and the orbital surface (11, 13, 14) (Petrides and Pandya 1995).

 Differences in neuroanatomical sites of apoD elevation discriminate between schizophrenia and bipolar disorder   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Increased apoD levels were observed in the lateral prefrontal cortex (Brodmann Area 46) in both schizophrenia (46%) and bipolar disorder (111%), and in the orbitofrontal cortex (Brodmann Area 11) (44.3 and 37.9% for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, respectively).
In subjects with schizophrenia, but not bipolar disorder, apoD levels were significantly elevated in the amygdala (42.8%) and thalamus (31.7%), while in bipolar disorder, but not schizophrenia, additional increases were detected in the parietal cortex (Brodmann Area 40; 123%) and the cingulate cortex (Brodmann Area 24; 57.7%).
These data demonstrate that there is anatomical overlap in the pathophysiologies of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, as well as areas of pathology that distinguish the two disorders.

 MAPS - Listening for the Logos - a study of reports of audible voices at high doses of psilocybin
If tryptamines, particularly psilocybin, are shown to have specific and somewhat unique abilities to stimulate auditory voice phenomena in human beings, their mere similarity to serotonin is not sufficient explanation.
However, the serotonergic system is somehow specially involved in auditory experience, as is Brodmann areas 41-42 in the temporal cortex and Broca's area (P. McGuire, Shah, & Murray, 1993).
Of the total questionnaire responses (N = 128), 35.9% (n = 46) of the participants reported having heard a voice(s) with psilocybin use, while 64.0% (n = 82) of the participants stated that they had not.
