The '''middle frontal gyrus''' makes up about one-third of the [[frontal lobe]] of the human [[brain]]. (A ''gyrus'' is one of the prominent "bumps" or "ridges" on the surface of the human brain.)
The middle frontal gyrus, like the [[inferior frontal gyrus]] and the [[superior frontal gyrus]], is more of a region than a true gyrus.
The borders of the middle frontal gyrus are the ''inferior frontal sulcus'' below; the ''superior frontal sulcus'' above; and the [[precentral sulcus]] behind.
