\\\\Frontal, I understand anterior, what the flip is 'pre-frontal' ??\\
Anatomically, anterior is "in front of"..........frontal is an anatomical area which may not be as far forward as you imagine, which makes pre frontal the area infront of the area described as "frontal"..e.g frontal lobes of brain.
