  2. Insular cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insular_cortex

    A human neuroimaging study using diffusion tensor imaging revealed that the anterior insula is interconnected to regions in the temporal and occipital lobe, opercular and orbitofrontal cortex, triangular and opercular parts of the inferior frontal gyrus. The same study revealed differences in the anatomical connection patterns between the left ...

  3. Claustrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claustrum

    Based upon its structure and connectivity, its function is suggested to be related to coordination of different brain functions; i.e. the conductor analogy. Consciousness functionally can be divided into two components: (i) wakefulness, which is arousal and alertness; (ii) content of consciousness, which is the processing of content.

  4. Lobes of the brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobes_of_the_brain

    The insular cortex is divided into two parts: the larger anterior insula and the smaller 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 enclosing frontal ...

  5. Granular insular cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granular_insular_cortex

    Granular insular cortex (or visceral area) refers to a portion of the cerebral cortex defined on the basis of internal structure in the human and macaque, [1] the rat, [2] and the mouse. [3]

  6. Operculum (brain) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operculum_(brain)

    In human brain anatomy, an operculum (Latin, meaning "little lid") (pl.: opercula), may refer to the frontal, temporal, or parietal operculum, which together cover the insula as the opercula of insula. [1] It can also refer to the occipital operculum, part of the occipital lobe.

  7. Primary sensory areas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_sensory_areas

    Taste: The primary gustatory area consists of the anterior part of the insula and the frontal operculum. [2] [3] [4] Olfaction: The olfactory cortex is located in the uncus which is found along the ventral surface of the temporal lobe. Olfaction is the only sensory system that is not routed through the thalamus.

  8. Limen insulae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limen_insulae

    The limen insulae forms the junction point between anterior and posterior stem of the lateral sulcus.It is the lateral most limit of the anterior perforated substance and the starting point of the insular cortex.

  9. Agranular insula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agranular_insula

    Agranular insula is a portion of the cerebral cortex defined on the basis of internal structure in the human, [1] the macaque, [2] the rat, [3] and the mouse. [4] Classified as allocortex (periallocortex), it is in primates distinguished from adjacent neocortex (proisocortex) by absence of the external granular layer (II) and of the internal granular layer (IV).
