Connectivity-Based Parcellation of the Human Frontal Pole with Diffusion Tensor Imaging
Open accessAbstract
The human frontal pole (FP) approximately corresponds to Brodmann's area 10 and is a highly differentiated cortical area with unique cytoarchitectonic characteristics. However, its functional diversity is highly suggestive of the existence of functional subregions. Based on anatomical connection patterns derived from diffusion tensor imaging data, we applied a spectral clustering algorithm to parcellate the human right FP into orbital (FPo), lateral (FPl), and medial (FPm) subregions. This parcellation scheme was validated by corresponding analyses of the left FP and right FP in another independent dataset. Both visual observation and quantitative comparison of the anatomical connection patterns of the three FP subregions revealed that the FPo showed greater connection probabilities to brain regions of the social emotion network (SEN), including the orbitofrontal cortex, temporal pole, and amygdala, the FPl showed stronger connections to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex of the cognitive processing network (CPN), and the FPm showed stronger connections to brain areas of the default mode network (DMN), including the anterior cingulate cortex and medial prefrontal cortex. We further analyzed the resting-state functional connectivity patterns of the three FP subregions. Consistent with the findings of anatomical connection analyses, the FPo was functionally correlated with the SEN, the FPl was correlated with the CPN, and the FPm was correlated with the DMN. These findings suggest that the human FP includes three separable subregions with different anatomical and functional connectivity patterns and that these subregions are involved in different brain functional networks and serve different functions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
