What runs along a fissure and is located in the frontal lobe?

The anterior cerebral artery runs along a fissure called the longitudinal fissure, which separates the two hemispheres of the brain in the frontal lobe. It supplies blood to the frontal lobes and other regions of the brain.


Part of brain that controls movements?

Probably the best-known region of the brain associated with motor control (movement) is the primary motor cortex. The primary motor cortex is located in the precentral gyrus, just anterior to the central sulcus.However, the pre-motor areas of the frontal lobe, as well as the cerebellum are also very involved with motor control.


What is the location of the frontal lobe of the brain?

The frontal lobe is an area in the brain of humans and other mammals, located at the front of each cerebral hemisphere and positioned anterior to (in front of) the parietal lobe and superior and anterior to the temporal lobes. It is separated from the parietal lobe by a space between tissues called the central sulcus, and from the temporal lobe by a deep fold called the lateral (Sylvian) sulcus. The post-central gyrus, forming the posterior border of the frontal lobe, contains the primary motor cortex, which controls voluntary movements of specific body parts.


What is the other name for anterior fontanelle?

The anterior fontanelle is also known as the "bregmatic fontanelle." It is the largest of the fontanelles in an infant's skull, located at the junction of the frontal and parietal bones. This soft spot allows for the growth of the skull during infancy and typically closes by 18 to 24 months of age.


What area is posterior to the central sulcus?

Postcentral gyrus, or the parietal lobe [Edit: The postcentral gyrus is posterior to the central sulcus, not anterior. The primary motor cortex is located directly anterior to the central sulcus.]

What is an anterior cingulate cortex?

The anterior cingulate cortex is a region in the brain involved in various functions such as decision-making, emotion regulation, and attention. It plays a crucial role in monitoring conflicts between different processes and is important for cognitive control. It is located in the frontal part of the brain.
