Resumen

La corteza prefrontal humana (CPF), en especial el área 10, poseen tal vez una de las citoarquitecturas y conectividad más interesantes del encéfalo, las funciones adjudicadas por estudios de lesiones en humanos, ablaciones en animales (primates superiores) y estudios de neuroimagen, han permitido identificar su valiosa contribución al comportamiento humano, sin desmeritar la importancia de su aporte en la evolución del hombre como especie dominante de este planeta. Durante las últimas décadas diferentes grupos de investigación han volcado su interés en estas áreas, como consecuencia de su participación en  múltiples patologías psiquiátricas (autismo, esquizofrenia, depresión, trastorno bipolar etc.), pero también por su participación en la concepción de ser humano como persona e individuo que se relaciona y convive en sociedad. Esta zona cortical y en especial el área 10, se ve involucrada en múltiples funciones eminentemente humanas, entre ellas establecimiento de juicios, conceptos demoralidad y ética, ponerse en el lugar de los demás, planeación de metas a corto, mediano y largo plazo, habilidad de soñar despiertos y posicionamiento de la atención, varias de ellas vinculadas a la conciencia del hombre.
