A note for Lesson no. 2, "Your Brain Is a Network," in Seven and a Half Lessons About the Brain by Lisa Feldman Barrett.
Some context from page 38 is:
...one part of your famous prefrontal cortex, called the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex.
Dorsomedial prefrontal cortex is a swath of the cerebral cortex that is on the inside (medial surface) of each of cerebral hemisphere. It is at the top (dorsal). It is important for body budgeting (allostasis) but is regularly involved in many other psychological events.[1] For a fun illustration, see Yeo et al (components 9 through 12 contain dorsomedial prefrontal cortex).[2]
