The anterior area, formed by the orbital surface of the frontal lobe, is concave, and rests on the roof of the orbit and nose; the middle area is convex, and consists of the under surface of the temporal lobe: it is adapted to the corresponding half of the middle cranial fossa.
The anterior central gyrus (gyrus centralis anterior; ascending frontal convolution; precentral gyre) is bounded in front by the precentral sulcus, behind by the central sulcus; it extends from the supero-medial border of the hemisphere to the posterior ramus of the lateral fissure.
The middle frontal gyrus (gyrus frontalis medius; medifrontal gyre), between the superior and inferior frontal sulci, is continuous with the anterior orbital gyrus on the inferior surface of the hemisphere; it is frequently subdivided into two by a horizontal sulcus, the medial frontal sulcus of Eberstaller, which ends anteriorly in a wide bifurcation.

Cytoarchitecturally bounded dorsocaudally by the intermediate frontal area 8, caudally by the agranular frontal area 6, and ventrally by the frontopolar area 10, the middle frontal area 46 and the opercular area 44.
Approximate boundaries are the cingulate sulcus dorsally and the parieto-occipital sulcus caudally.
Occupies the postcentral gyrus and the precentral gyrus between the ventrolateral extreme of the central sulcus and the depth of the lateral sulcus at the insula.

 Frontal lobe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The lateral sulcus separates the inferior frontal gyrus of lower frontal lobes from the temporal lobes.
The frontal lobe comprises four major folds of cortical tissue: the precentral gyrus, superior frontal gyrus and the middle frontal gyrus of the frontal gyri, and the inferior frontal gyrus.
People who have damaged frontal lobes may experience problems with these aspects of cognitive function, being at times impulsive; impaired in their ability to plan and execute complex sequences of actions; perhaps persisting with one course of action or pattern of behaviour when a change would be appropriate (perseveration).

The IFC is defined as cortex anterior to the precentral sulcus, inferior to the inferior frontal sulcus and superior and posterior to the lateral orbital sulcus (Figure 1).
When the middle frontal gyrus is connected to the pars opercularis, a geometric line is drawn connecting the two points of the inferior frontal sulcus on either side of the junction of the middle frontal gyrus with the inferior frontal gyrus (Figure 8).
Since the inferior frontal sulcus is not clearly defined in the axial slices of this region, the cortical object model must be used to distinguish this geometric line (Figure 8 and Figure 9).

Cingulate Gyrus is an arched convolution that lies in its entirety adjacent to the corpus callosum and is separated from it by the sulcus of the corpus callosum.
The cortical gyri that overlap this structure are derived from the overgrowth of the frontal, parietal, and temporal lobes.

At this level, in each of the patients studied, a bend was found in the precentral gyrus that pointed posteriorly and corresponded to Broca's middle bend of the central sulcus; we used this nomenclature.[2] The hand motor activation was found to occur at the apex of the middle bend in all patients in our study.
The superior frontal sulcus, when followed to its posterior termination, invariably ends at the middle bend of the central sulcus and is a reliable landmark for the hand motor area.
The hand motor area lies between the superior and middle frontal gyri, on the posterior bank of the precentral gyrus and at the apex of the posterior-pointing middle bend of the central sulcus.

Several lines of research have demonstrated that particular subregions within the frontal lobe are associated with specific motor and cognitive functions in the human being.
Frontal subregions are defined on 2D slices by surrounding contiguous areas of the grey-matter triangle isosurface, according to the anatomical boundaries defined for each subregion.
The surface area (SA) of any specific frontal subregion was measured by summing areas of all triangles within the tracings that were made to define that specific subregion.

 Nat' Academies Press, (NAS Colloquium) Neuroimaging of Human Brain Function (1998)
Thus, as with visual priming in occipital cortex, semantic priming in frontal cortex was associated with a facilitation in processing and a reduction in activation.
It may be that the left middle frontal gyrus is especially involved in lexical rather than semantic retrieval processes because participants had to retrieve a word on the basis of a three-letter stem rather than a semantic cue.
Thus, there is activation in the left inferior frontal gyrus for phonological relative to orthographic discrimination tasks for visually and auditorily presented words (43), phonetic relative to pitch judgments for auditorily presented syllables (44), and phonetic monitoring of nonwords relative to pitch monitoring for tones (45).

 The Human Brain
Above the temporal pole of the hemisphere, the posterior ramus of the lateral sulcus is a long cleft that runs backwards with an upwards inclination, and it enters the inferior parietal lobule where it may terminate in a T-shaped manner.
On the left side of the brain (in most individuals), the opercular and triangular parts of the inferior frontal gyrus are referred to as Broca's area, which is associated with motor elements of speech.
The cortex of the angular gyrus is important because it is involved in relating visual impressions to stereognostic impressions (appreciation of the nature of objects by means of touch).

 University of Chicago Hospitals: Connections in brain provide clues to learning
By measuring the number of synapses--connections between nerve cells--Huttenlocher and Dabholkar were able to establish when the production of synapses reached its peak and when it began to decline in three portions of the brain: the auditory cortex, the primary visual cortex, and the middle frontal gyrus (which controls higher-order thinking skills).
In the case of the middle frontal gyrus, the peak in synaptic density is not reached until a child is three and a half years old.
Because the middle frontal gyrus is the last of the three portions to develop, tasks that require higher order thinking skills as well as those dependent on motivation are difficult to perform until a child reaches adolescence.

In addition, sensitive patients showed unique activations in primary somatosensory cortex, insula and middle frontal gyrus that were not observed in insensitive patients, and insensitive patients showed unique activations in bilateral temporal lobes and in ipsilateral middle frontal gyrus.
However, statistical comparison of both groups showed only significantly greater activation in ipsilateral middle frontal gyrus in the sensitive patient group.
The observation of possibly enhanced cerebral response to innocuous stimulation in the sensitive group suggests that the previously observed augmentation of painful pressure may extend to pressures described as non-painful.

In a previous fMRI study (1), we found that the left posterior inferior frontal gyrus (pIFG) responded not to the sound structure of language but rather to the process of sequencing discrete units, whether phoneme segments or hummed notes.
Second, we wanted to investigate the influence of sequential processing on the degree of a right inferior frontal response to non-speech and novel phonemes.
In the Delete task, subjects mentally removed the middle syllable or hummed note of the first sequence.
