dorsolateral prefrontal cortex

Brain top and side regions {dorsolateral prefrontal cortex} can be for spatial coordinates and categorization. It looks up information in associative memory to access stored information for working memory. It uses model similar to cerebellar model to control muscle movement and learn new physical skills.

attention

Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, cingulate nucleus, frontal eye fields in area 8, posterior parietal lobe in area 7a, pulvinar nucleus, and superior colliculus shift attention.

rule

Ventrolateral prefrontal cortex, Brodmann areas 44, 45, and 47, and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, Brodmann areas 9 and 46, process conditionals. They develop after orbitofrontal cortex and before rostrolateral prefrontal cortex. Orbitofrontal cortex processes rules.

task

Rostrolateral prefrontal cortex, Brodmann area 10, can process task sets. It develops after dorsolateral and ventrolateral prefrontal cortex.
