Brodmann area 9, or BA9, refers to a cytoarchitecturally defined portion of the frontal cortex in the brain of humans and other primates. Its cytoarchitecture is referred to as granular due to the concentration of granule cells in layer IV.{{Citation |last=Vasković |first=Jana |title=Cytoarchitecture of cerebral cortex |date=2023-11-03 |url=https://www.kenhub.com/en/library/anatomy/cortical-cytoarchitecture |publisher=Kenhub GmbH}} It contributes to the dorsolateral and medial prefrontal cortex.

Guenon

Brodmann area 9 also exists in the frontal lobe of the guenon. Brodmann-1909 regarded it on the whole as topographically and cytoarchitecturally homologous to the granular frontal area 9 and frontopolar area 10 in the human. Distinctive features (Brodmann-1905): Unlike Brodmann area 6 (Brodmann-1909), area 9 has a distinct internal granular layer (IV); unlike Brodmann area 6 or Brodmann area 8 (Brodmann-1909), its internal pyramidal layer (V) is divisible into two sublayers, an outer layer 5a of densely distributed medium-size ganglion cells that partially merges with layer IV, and an inner, clearer, cell-poor layer 5b; the pyramidal cells of sublayer 3b of the external pyramidal layer (III) are smaller and sparser in distribution; the external granular layer (II) is narrow, with small numbers of sparsely distributed granule cells.{{CC-notice|cc=by3|url=http://braininfo.rprc.washington.edu/centraldirectory.aspx?type=a&ID=1046}}{{unreliable source?|date=November 2014}} {{cite web |url=http://braininfo.rprc.washington.edu/centraldirectory.aspx?type=a&ID=1046 |title=BrainInfo |access-date=2013-12-03 |url-status=bot: unknown |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131207021330/http://braininfo.rprc.washington.edu/centraldirectory.aspx?type=a&ID=1046 |archive-date=December 7, 2013 }}
