The brain area pinpointed is known to be intimately involved in some of the most advanced planning and decision-making processes that we think of as being especially human.
'We tend to think that being able to plan into the future, be flexible in our approach and learn from others are things that are particularly impressive about humans. We've identified an area of the brain that appears to be uniquely human and is likely to have something to do with these cognitive powers,' says senior researcher Professor Matthew Rushworth of Oxford University's Department of Experimental Psychology.
MRI imaging of 25 adult volunteers was used to identify key components in the ventrolateral frontal cortex area of the human brain, and how these components were connected up with other brain areas. The results were then compared to equivalent MRI data from 25 macaque monkeys.
This ventrolateral frontal cortex area of the brain is involved in many of the highest aspects of cognition and language, and is only present in humans and other primates. Some parts are implicated in psychiatric conditions like ADHD, drug addiction or compulsive behaviour disorders. Language is affected when other parts are damaged after stroke or neurodegenerative disease. A better understanding of the neural connections and networks involved should help the understanding of changes in the brain that go along with these conditions.
The Oxford University researchers report their findings in the science journal Neuron.
Professor Rushworth explains: 'The brain is a mosaic of interlinked areas. We wanted to look at this very important region of the frontal part of the brain and see how many tiles there are and where they are placed.
'We also looked at the connections of each tile -- how they are wired up to the rest of the brain -- as it is these connections that determine the information that can reach that component part and the influence that part can have on other brain regions.'
From the MRI data, the researchers were able to divide the human ventrolateral frontal cortex into 12 areas that were consistent across all the individuals.
It is called schizoaffective. Schizoaffective turmoil is a mental issue in which a man encounters a blend of schizophrenia side effects, for example, pipedreams or dreams, and state of mind issue indications, for example, gloom or craziness. This disorder includes the bipolar disorder.
The stage of Piagets Sensorimotor that this represents is the Secondary circular reactions.

This is a stage of repetitive action that takes place in children that are aged 4 to 6 months.
These kinds of actions shows the aim of the child in trying to make things happen. Omar here shakes the car keys repeatedly due to the sounds that he hears.
Delusion refers to the false personal belief, wherein an individual believes in his or her knowledge yet does not believe others, though they are right and have sufficient evidence. Being delusional may be cause by the lack of evidence or incomplete knowledge and wrong perception of things.
Herbivores eat plants, algae, and other producers. They are at the second trophic level. In a grassland ecosystem, deer, mice, and even elephants are herbivores.
