frontal cortex in dogs

Anterior portion of the neocortex, lying anterior to the central sulcus in humans. It is bounded by the parietal cortex posteriorly and the temporal cortex laterally[NIFSTD,modified]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the frontal cortex is

Anterior portion of the neocortex, lying anterior to the central sulcus in humans. It is bounded by the parietal cortex posteriorly and the temporal cortex laterally[NIFSTD,modified]. The atlas records it as a nerve at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the frontal cortex is

It sits within the nervous system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What the frontal cortex connects to

The atlas records 16 typed relationships for it, across 5 kinds of connection. part of anatomical structure, cerebral hemisphere and neocortex, and 1 more.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the frontal cortex. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as cortex of frontal lobe, frontal lobe cortex, gray matter of frontal lobe, grey matter of frontal lobe and frontal neocortex. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the frontal cortex?

It sits within the nervous system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What does the frontal cortex connect to?

Part of: anatomical structure, cerebral hemisphere, neocortex and organ.

Is the frontal cortex the same in other species?

This page describes the dog. The human record of the same structure sits beside it on /compare, over one shared model rather than two atlases built separately.
