Brodmann mapped the human brain based on the varied cellular structure across the cortex and identified 52 distinct regions, which he numbered 1 to 52. These regions, or Brodmann areas, correspond with diverse functions including sensation, motor control, and cognition. [1]
The rostral organ of the coelacanth or similar in many other fish such as Anchovy is a large gel-filled cavity in the snout, with three pairs of canals to the outside. [ 1 ] It is surrounded by an insulating layer of adipose tissue and innervated by the superficial ophthalmic nerve .
BA10 was originally defined broadly in terms of its cytoarchitectonic traits as they were observed in the brains of cadavers, but because modern functional imaging cannot precisely identify these boundaries, the terms anterior prefrontal cortex, rostral prefrontal cortex and frontopolar prefrontal cortex are used to refer to the area in the ...
Brodmann area 46, or BA46, is part of the frontal cortex in the human brain.It is between BA10 and BA45.. BA46 is known as middle frontal area 46.In the human brain it occupies approximately the middle third of the middle frontal gyrus and the most rostral portion of the inferior frontal gyrus.
Brodmann area 12 is a subdivision of the cerebral cortex of the guenon defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It occupies the most rostral portion of the frontal lobe . Brodmann-1909 did not regard it as homologous , either topographically or cytoarchitecturally, to rostral area 12 of the human.
The red nucleus or nucleus ruber is a structure in the rostral midbrain involved in motor coordination. [1] The red nucleus is pale pink, which is believed to be due to the presence of iron in at least two different forms: hemoglobin and ferritin. [2]
In the anatomy of the brain of vertebrates, the forebrain or prosencephalon is the rostral (forward-most) portion of the brain.The forebrain controls body temperature, reproductive functions, eating, sleeping, and the display of emotions.
Dorsal and ventral are thus relative terms in the brain, whose exact meaning depends on the specific location. Rostral and caudal: rostral refers in general anatomy to the front of the body (towards the nose, or rostrum in Latin), and caudal refers to the tail end of the body (towards the tail; cauda in Latin). The rostrocaudal dimension of the ...
