  2. Insular cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insular_cortex

    The insular cortex (also insula and insular lobe) is a portion of the cerebral cortex folded deep within the lateral sulcus (the fissure separating the temporal lobe from the parietal and frontal lobes) within each hemisphere of the mammalian brain.

  3. Lobes of the brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobes_of_the_brain

    The insular cortex is a portion of the cerebral cortex folded deep within the lateral sulcus (the fissure separating the temporal lobe from the parietal and frontal lobes). The insular cortex has an important function for sending axons to the amygdala and responding to tones and somatosensory stimulation.

  4. Operculum (brain) - Wikipedia

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

    The insular lobe is a portion of the cerebral cortex that has invaginated to lie deep within the lateral sulcus. It sits like an island (the meaning of insular ) almost surrounded by the groove of the circular sulcus and covered over and obscured by the insular opercula.

  5. Claustrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claustrum

    The claustrum is a small bilateral gray matter structure (comprising roughly 0.25% of the cerebral cortex) located deep to the insular cortex and extreme capsule, and superficial to the external capsule and basal ganglia.

  6. Gustatory cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustatory_cortex

    The primary gustatory cortex (GC) is a brain structure responsible for the perception of taste. It consists of two substructures: the anterior insula on the insular lobe and the frontal operculum on the inferior frontal gyrus of the frontal lobe . [ 1 ]

  7. Cerebrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebrum

    A smaller lobe is the insular lobe, a part of the cerebral cortex folded deep within the lateral sulcus that separates the temporal lobe from the parietal and frontal lobes, is located within each hemisphere of the mammalian brain.

  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).
