BR BR

The Colliculi

BR Superior colliculus and inferior colliculus.BR In the z direction, once you see the colliculi, you are not in the thalamus anymoreBR The upper left picture has crosshairs on the superior colliculus, the rest are centred on the inferior colliculus.

Brodmann Areas

BR

In the cortex, Brodmann areas are often used in conjunction with anatomical lables to help specify an area.

attachment:brainbrodmannareas.gif

1, 2, 3 = primary sensory cortexBR4 = motor cortexBR5, 7 = secondary sensory cortexBR6 = supplementary motor area (medial) and premotor cortex (lateral)BR8 = frontal eye fieldsBR9/46 = dorsolateral prefrontal cortexBR10 = frontopolar cortexBR11, 12 = orbitofrontal areasBR17 = primary visual cortexBR18, 19, 20, 21, 37 = secondary visual cortexBR24, 32 = anterior cingulate cortexBR41 = primary auditory cortexBR22, 42 = secondary auditory cortexBR39 = angular gyrus, part of Wernicke's areaBR40 = supramarginal gyrus, part of Wernicke's areaBR44/45 = Broca's AreaBR47 Ventrolateral prefrontal cortexBR(13, 14, 15, 16, 27, 49, 50, 51 - monkey only)BRBrodmann area 48 was described by Brodmann, but does not appear in his maps.

BR BR

The medial temporal lobe

BR

  • - hippocampusBR - parahippocampal gyrus (roughly corresponds to parts of Brodmann areas 27, 28, 34, 35, 36)BR - amygdalaBR - fusiform gyrus (roughly corresponds to parts of Brodmann areas 19, 37).BR

BR BR

The lateral temporal lobe

BR

  • - Inferior temporal gyrus (ITG)BR - Middle temporal gyrus (MTG)BR - Superior temporal gyrus (STG)BR - Heschl's Gyrus (HG), also called transverse temporal gyrus. Contains primary auditory cortexBR - Temporal polesBR

The supplementary and pre-supplementary motor areas

BR SMA and pre-SMA, medial Brodmann area 6 BR The dividing line between the pre-SMA and the SMA is often considered to be the plane of y = 0.BR BR attachment:SMApre-SMA.png
