Brodmann published his maps of cortical areas in humans, monkeys, and other species in 1909, [2] along with many other findings and observations regarding the general cell types and laminar organization of the mammalian cortex. The same Brodmann area number in different species does not necessarily indicate homologous areas. [3]
Area 15 is located in the part of the insula nearest the temporal lobe and part of the anterior temporal lobe facing the insula. [1] It is buried in the Sylvian Fissure and thus not visible on the surface of the brain without dissection.
The insular cortex is divided by the central sulcus of the insula, into two parts: the anterior insula and the posterior insula in which more than a dozen field areas have been identified. The cortical area overlying the insula toward the lateral surface of the brain is the operculum (meaning lid). The opercula are formed from parts of the ...
Brodmann area 43, the subcentral area, is a structurally distinct area of the cerebral cortex defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture. Along with Brodmann Area 1, 2, and 3, Brodmann area 43 is a subdivision of the postcentral region of the brain, [ 1 ] suggesting a somatosensory ('feeling of the body') function.
Brodmann area 45 (BA45), is part of the frontal cortex in the human brain.It is situated on the lateral surface, inferior to BA9 and adjacent to BA46.. This area in humans occupies the triangular part of inferior frontal gyrus (H) and, surrounding the anterior horizontal limb of the lateral sulcus (H), a portion of the orbital part of the inferior frontal gyrus (H).
These areas are differentiated from the more anterior area 11 by a lack of continuous granular layer, [2] and from the more posterior agranular Insular cortex. [3] Area 13b is a thin and dysgranular cortical area, often characterized by crossing patterns of striations in layers III and V. Area 13a has an agranular structure.
Area 10 differs from the adjacent Brodmann 9 in that the latter has a more distinct layer Vb and more prominent layer II. Neighbouring Brodmann area 11 compared to area 10 has a thinner layer IV with more prominent layers Va, Vb and II. [3] Area 10 in humans has the lowest neuron density among primate brains. [3]
Brodmann area 47, or BA47, is part of the frontal cortex in the human brain. It curves from the lateral surface of the frontal lobe into the ventral (orbital) frontal cortex. It curves from the lateral surface of the frontal lobe into the ventral (orbital) frontal cortex.
