I don't know how we want to represent the relationship between frontal cortex and frontal lobe; right now, I'm going to relate them through "Same As" relationship, although I'm not going to assert that these two terms are synonymous, because there are many species that do not have a frontal "lobe". (Maryann Martone) Anterior portion of the frontal cortex, lying anterior to the central sulcus in humans. It is bounded by the parietal cortex posteriorly and the temporal cortex laterally.
