[[File:Brodmann area 9.png|thumb|{{PAGENAME}}]]<br>'''Brodmann area 9''' (BA9) is one of the cytoarchitectonic areas of the human brain. It is located in the [[prefrontal cortex]], in the [[frontal lobe]]. This area is also known as the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC).

== Anatomy ==

Brodmann area 9 is a subdivision of the cerebral cortex of the guenon defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture. It is located predominantly in the [[dorsolateral prefrontal cortex]]. It is bounded approximately by the superior frontal sulcus (which separates it from [[Brodmann area 6|BA6]]), the superior precentral sulcus (separating it from [[Brodmann area 8|BA8]]), and the lateral sulcus (separating it from [[Brodmann area 10|BA10]] and [[Brodmann area 46|BA46]]).

== Function ==

The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex is associated with executive functions, such as managing attention, planning and organizing, problem solving, and regulating behavior. It is also involved in working memory and decision making.

== Clinical significance ==

Alterations in Brodmann area 9 have been implicated in a variety of neurological and psychiatric conditions, including [[schizophrenia]], [[depression]], [[bipolar disorder]], and [[attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)|ADHD]].
