Superior Frontal Sulcus
The superior frontal sulcus is a sulcus between the superior frontal gyrus and the middle frontal gyrus, that defines the lateral limit of the Superior frontal gyrus In neuroanatomy, the superior frontal gyrus (SFG, also marginal gyrus) is a gyrus – a ridge on the brain's cerebral cortex – which makes up about one third of the frontal lobe. It is bounded laterally by the superior frontal sulcus. The su ....

Sulcus (neuroanatomy)
In neuroanatomy, a sulcus (Latin: "furrow"; : sulci) is a shallow Sulcus (morphology), depression or groove in the cerebral cortex. One or more sulci surround a gyrus (pl. gyri), a ridge on the surface of the cortex, creating the characteristic folded appearance of the brain in humans and most other mammals. The larger sulci are also called Sulcus (morphology)#Brain, fissures. The cortex develops in the fetal stage of corticogenesis, preceding the cortical folding stage known as gyrification. The large fissures and main sulci are the first to develop. Mammals that have a folded cortex are known as ''gyrencephalic'', and the small-brained mammals that have a smooth cortex, such as rats and mice are termed lissencephaly, lissencephalic. Structure Sulci, the grooves, and gyri, the folds or ridges, make up the gyrification, folded surface of the cerebral cortex. Larger or deeper sulci are also often termed fissures. The folded cortex creates a larger surface area for the brain in h ...

Superior Frontal Gyrus
In neuroanatomy, the superior frontal gyrus (SFG, also marginal gyrus) is a gyrus – a ridge on the brain's cerebral cortex – which makes up about one third of the frontal lobe. It is bounded laterally by the superior frontal sulcus. The superior frontal gyrus is one of the frontal gyri. Function Self-awareness In fMRI experiments, Goldberg ''et al.'' have found evidence that the superior frontal gyrus is involved in self-awareness, in coordination with the action of the sensory system. The medial frontal gyrus (MFG) is the medial portion of the superior frontal gyrus. The MFG plays a crucial role implicated in self-reflection and self-awareness, particularly during self-referential processing. The MFG becomes activated when individuals engage in tasks that involve evaluating traits about themselves. This process is essential for maintaining a sense of self. In this study, people with major depressive disorder, also known as MDD, showed heightened and broader activati ...

Middle Frontal Gyrus
The middle frontal gyrus makes up about one-third of the frontal lobe of the human brain. (A gyrus is one of the prominent "bumps" or "ridges" on the cerebral cortex The cerebral cortex, also known as the cerebral mantle, is the outer layer of neural tissue of the cerebrum of the brain in humans and other mammals. It is the largest site of Neuron, neural integration in the central nervous system, and plays .... The middle frontal gyrus, like the inferior frontal gyrus and the superior frontal gyrus, is more of a region in the frontal gyrus than a true gyrus. The borders of the middle frontal gyrus are the ''inferior frontal sulcus'' below; the ''superior frontal sulcus'' above; and the precentral sulcus behind.
