frontal lobe

Frontal lobe is the anterior-most of five lobes of the cerebral hemisphere. It is bounded by the central sulcus on its posterior border and by the longitudinal cerebral fissure on its medial border. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the frontal lobe is

Frontal lobe is the anterior-most of five lobes of the cerebral hemisphere. It is bounded by the central sulcus on its posterior border and by the longitudinal cerebral fissure on its medial border. The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the human body.

Where the frontal lobe is

It sits within the nervous system. Positioned deliberately as part of this species body plan.

What the frontal lobe connects to

The atlas records 20 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. a kind of lobe of cerebral hemisphere.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the frontal lobe. 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 frontal region, regio frontalis, lobi frontales, lobus frontalis and frontal cortex. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the frontal lobe?

It sits within the nervous system. Positioned deliberately as part of this species body plan.

What does the frontal lobe connect to?

A kind of: lobe of cerebral hemisphere.

Is the frontal lobe the same in other species?

Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
