Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy

The inferior frontal junction area (IFJ) is an area of the brain located at the junction of the inferior frontal sulcus and the inferior precentral sulcus. [1] It is involved in working memory and attention functions and has been shown as an important control region orchestrating neural activity elsewhere in the brain. [2] [3]
