			{{Use dmy dates\|date=October 2023}}

	The '''~~Middle Frontal Gyrus~~''' is a part of the [[~~brain~~]] ~~located in~~ the [[~~frontal lobe~~]]. It is ~~one of the three gyri in the frontal lobe, the other two being~~ the [[superior frontal gyrus]] and the [[inferior frontal gyrus]]. The ~~Middle Frontal Gyrus is involved~~ in various cognitive functions, including attention, memory, and ~~motor function~~.		The '''middle frontal gyrus''' is a part of the [[frontal lobe]] of the [[human brain]]. It is located between the [[superior frontal gyrus]] and the [[inferior frontal gyrus]]. The middle frontal gyrus plays a significant role in various cognitive functions, including attention, working memory, and executive functions.

	==~~Etymology~~==		==Anatomy==
	The ~~term "~~gyrus~~" comes from~~ the ~~Latin word for "circle" and~~ is ~~used in anatomy to describe a fold or ridge in~~ the brain. ~~The term "~~frontal~~" refers to~~ the ~~location of~~ the ~~gyrus~~ in the frontal ~~lobe of the brain~~.		The middle frontal gyrus is situated in the frontal lobe, which is the largest lobe of the brain. It is bounded by the [[superior frontal sulcus]] above and the [[inferior frontal sulcus]] below. The gyrus extends from the [[precentral sulcus]] in the anterior direction towards the frontal pole.

	==~~Anatomy~~==		===Structure===
	The ~~Middle Frontal Gyrus~~ is ~~located between the~~ [[~~superior frontal sulcus~~]] ~~and~~ the [[~~inferior frontal sulcus~~]]~~. It is larger and more complex in humans compared to other primates~~. The ~~Middle Frontal Gyrus is divided into two parts: the anterior part, which~~ is involved in motor ~~function,~~ and ~~the posterior part, which~~ is ~~involved in cognitive functions~~.		The middle frontal gyrus is composed of [[gray matter]], which contains the cell bodies of neurons. It is part of the [[cerebral cortex]], the outermost layer of the brain responsible for higher-order brain functions. The gyrus is involved in the integration of sensory and motor information and is crucial for planning and decision-making processes.

	==Function==		==Function==
	The ~~Middle Frontal Gyrus~~ plays a ~~crucial~~ role in ~~various cognitive functions~~. It is involved in ~~attention~~, ~~working memory~~, and ~~motor function~~. ~~Damage~~ to ~~this area can result in deficits in these functions~~.		The middle frontal gyrus is involved in several cognitive processes:

			* '''Attention and Working Memory''': It plays a role in maintaining attention and working memory, which are essential for tasks that require the temporary storage and manipulation of information.
			* '''Executive Functions''': The gyrus is involved in executive functions, which include planning, decision-making, and problem-solving.
			* '''Language Processing''': Although not primarily a language area, the middle frontal gyrus contributes to language processing and comprehension.

	==Clinical Significance==		==Clinical Significance==
	Damage to the ~~Middle Frontal Gyrus~~ can result in ~~a variety of neurological and psychiatric conditions. These include [[~~attention ~~deficit hyperactivity disorder]] (ADHD)~~, ~~[[schizophrenia]]~~, and ~~[[dementia]]~~. ~~In addition~~, ~~it has been found that the Middle Frontal Gyrus is often affected~~ in ~~individuals with [[autism]]~~.		Damage to the middle frontal gyrus can result in deficits in attention, working memory, and executive functions. Lesions in this area may lead to difficulties in planning and organizing tasks, as well as impairments in decision-making abilities.

	==~~See Also~~==		==Imaging==

			The middle frontal gyrus can be visualized using various neuroimaging techniques such as [[MRI]] and [[CT scan]]. These imaging modalities help in assessing the structure and function of the gyrus in both healthy and diseased states.

'''Middle Frontal Gyrus'''

The '''Middle Frontal Gyrus''' is a part of the [[brain]] located in the [[frontal lobe]]. It is one of the three gyri in the frontal lobe, the other two being the [[superior frontal gyrus]] and the [[inferior frontal gyrus]]. The Middle Frontal Gyrus is involved in various cognitive functions, including attention, memory, and motor function.

==Etymology==
The term "gyrus" comes from the Latin word for "circle" and is used in anatomy to describe a fold or ridge in the brain. The term "frontal" refers to the location of the gyrus in the frontal lobe of the brain.

==Anatomy==
The Middle Frontal Gyrus is located between the [[superior frontal sulcus]] and the [[inferior frontal sulcus]]. It is larger and more complex in humans compared to other primates. The Middle Frontal Gyrus is divided into two parts: the anterior part, which is involved in motor function, and the posterior part, which is involved in cognitive functions.

==Function==
The Middle Frontal Gyrus plays a crucial role in various cognitive functions. It is involved in attention, working memory, and motor function. Damage to this area can result in deficits in these functions.

==Clinical Significance==
Damage to the Middle Frontal Gyrus can result in a variety of neurological and psychiatric conditions. These include [[attention deficit hyperactivity disorder]] (ADHD), [[schizophrenia]], and [[dementia]]. In addition, it has been found that the Middle Frontal Gyrus is often affected in individuals with [[autism]].
