Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex: Regions & Art

The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC or DLPFC) is an area in the prefrontal cortex of the primate brain. It is one of the most recently derived parts of the human brain. It undergoes a prolonged period of maturation which lasts into adulthood. The dlPFC is not an anatomical structure, but rather a functional one. It lies in the middle frontal gyrus…
