Brodmann has pioneered structural brain mapping. He considered functional and
pathological criteria for defining cortical areas in addition to cytoarchitecture. Starting from …

The insula is a brain structure implicated in disparate cognitive, affective, and regulatory
functions, including interoceptive awareness, emotional responses, and empathic …

Understanding the amazingly complex human cerebral cortex requires a map (or
parcellation) of its major subdivisions, known as cortical areas. Making an accurate areal …

The human brain atlases that allow correlating brain anatomy with psychological and
cognitive functions are in transition from ex vivo histology-based printed atlases to digital …

Noninvasively mapping the layout of cortical areas in humans is a continuing challenge for
neuroscience. We present a new method of mapping cortical areas based on myelin content …

Recent work has indicated that the insula may be involved in goal-directed cognition,
switching between networks, and the conscious awareness of affect and somatosensation …

Whether we feel sympathy for another, listen to our heartbeat, experience pain or negotiate,
the insular cortex is thought to integrate perceptions, emotions, thoughts, and plans into one …

The human insular cortex forms a distinct, but entirely hidden lobe, situated in the depth of
the Sylvian fissure. Here, we first review the recent literature on the connectivity and the …

The human insula is hidden in the depth of the cerebral hemisphere by the overlying frontal
and temporal opercula, and consists of three cytoarchitectonically distinct regions: the …

We report on surface-based analyses that enhance our understanding of human cortical
organization, including its convolutions and its parcellation into many distinct areas. The …
