Prefrontal cortical (PFC)

前额叶皮层

英文解释

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is the region of the cerebral cortex which covers the anterior portion of the frontal lobe. It is situated rostral to Brodmann area 6, including that on the orbital surface, and is particularly well-developed in primates, especially man. The PFC can be divided into the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), the orbitofrontal cortex, the ventrolateral PFC, the dorsolateral PFC (DLPFC), and the caudal PFC. PFC receives input from all other cortical regions and functions to plan and direct motor, cognitive, affective, and social behavior across time.

中文解释

前额叶皮层（PFC）是覆盖额叶前部的大脑皮层区域。 它位于 Brodmann 6 区的喙部，包括轨道表面的区域，在灵长类动物中特别发达，尤其是在人类中。PFC 可分为内侧前额叶皮层（mPFC）、眶额叶皮层、腹外侧 PFC、背外侧 PFC（DLPFC）和尾侧 PFC。PFC 接收来自所有其他皮层区域和功能的输入，以跨时间规划和指导运动、认知、情感和社会行为。
