@@Home -> BiologicalLifeResearch -> BrainAreaNDM -> BrainRegionNDM_NC_AL_VMPFC

This page covers biological details of component Ventromedial Prefrontal Cortex. Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

• *Top-down path to region*: Cortex -> Anterior Lobe (NC.LOBE.ANT) -> Prefrontal Cortex (NC.AL.PFC) -> Medial Prefrontal Cortex (NC.AL.MPFC) -> Ventromedial Prefrontal Cortex (NDM.NC.AL.VMPFC) (see Mind Maps)
• *Type*: cortex
• *Brain area*: Neocortical Brain - Decision Making Area
• *Brodmann ID*: 11
• *Role*: processor
• *Function*: Ongoing Introverted Attention with Regard to Emotions and Feelings, Reward or Punishment
• *Notes to function*: lower MPFC, primary connections to limbic and sensory cortices; Reward mediated behaviours
