"Although the pars orbitalis is not defined by cytoarchitecture, it is closely affiliated to Brodmann’s areas 47/12 1. Traditionally not considered to be a core language area, new studies suggest in the dominant hemisphere it plays a more significant role in language processing with its involvement in semantic processing, phonological processing and syntax 1. The function of the same cortical region in the non-dominant hemisphere is not as well documented but has been shown to be involved in behavioural and motor inhibition and deductive reasoning 2."
