The prefrontal cortex is anterior to the premotor cortex. The orbital frontal cortex is the portion over the orbits. This part of the cortex is extremely well-developed in humans and is critical to judgment, insight, motivation and mood. It is also important for conditioned emotional reactions. The prefrontal cortex receives input from the other areas of limbic cortex, from the amygdala and from septal nuclei and has reciprocal connections with each of these areas and with the dorsomedial nucleus of the thalamus.
