Prefrontal cortex

Cerebral Cortex Part II The cerebral cortex is organized into primary, secondary, and association areas. Primary areas receive direct thalamic input for basic motor and sensory processing, secondary areas refine this input, and association areas integrate multiple modalities for higher cognition. The frontal lobe contains the primary motor cortex (Area 4) for voluntary movement, premotor and prefrontal cortices for planning and executive function, and Broca’s area (44,45) for motor speech.
