| Barrel | A cytoarchitectural unit of the barrel cortex characterized in Nissl preparations a dense ring of cell bodies which has, roughly, the shape of a circle or an ellipsoid. As originally described by Woolsey and Van der Loos, this ring represents the side of the barrel and surrounds an area of lower cell density which they named the hollow. Each barrel is separated from its neighbors by a clear, nearly acellular area termed the septum. In tangentially oriented sections, a septum can be seen to separate a barrel from its neighbors. | |||
| Barrel cortex | The term primary somatosensory area, barrel field refers to one of 6 subdivisions of the primary somesthetic area of the cerebral cortex in the mouse (Dong-2004) and the rat (Swanson-2004). It is defined as dark-staining regions in Nissl and other types of stains of layer four of the somatosensory cortex of rodents where somatosensory inputs from the contralateral side of the body come in from the thalamus, in particular input from the whiskers. Each barrel ranges in size from 100-400 um in diameter. (modified from BrainInfo and Wikipedia) | Barrel field | http://braininfo.rprc.washington.edu/AncilDefinition.aspx?ID=2703&questID=2703 | |

| Brodmann (1909) area 1 | The term area 1 of Brodmann-1909 refers to a subdivision of the postcentral gyrus of the guenon defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture. Brodmann-1909 regarded it as topologically and cytoarchitecturally homologous to the human intermediate postcentral area 1. Distinctive features (Brodmann-1905): the molecular layer (I) is cell free; the external granular layer (II) contains a population composed primarily of granule cells superfically with some small pyramidal cells and stellate cells in its deeper portion; the most densely populated layer is the internal granular layer (IV) which contains small round darkly stained cells with little cytoplasm and larger pyramidal cells or stellate cells sparsely intermixed; the internal pyramidal layer (V), relatively wide and distinct ly bounded by layer IV and the multiform layer (VI), has a dense population of medium sized ganglion cells and pyramidal cells concentrated along its border with layer IV and a clear sublayer 5b containing fewer and smaller cells adjacent to layer VI; layer VI has an abundant neuronal population that is divisible into a sublayer 6a composed primarily of medium sized triangular and larger pyramidal cells, and a deeper sublayer 6b composed strictly of small fusiform cells that are less densely distributed; layer VI is quite wide and it merges gradually with the subcortical white matter. | intermediate postcentral Brodmann.1 area 1 of Brodmann-1909 Area postcentralis intermedia Brodmann area 1 |

| Brodmann (1909) area 10 | The term area 10 of Brodmann-1909 refers to a subdivision of the frontal lobe of the guenon defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture. Brodmann-1909 did not regard it as cytoarchitecturally homologous to his human frontopolar area 10. Distinctive features (Brodmann-1905): compared to area 9 of Brodmann-1909, the multiform layer (VI) of area 10 shows an unusual organization of cells into trains oriented parallel to the cortical surface that are separated from one another by narrow cell-free fiber bundles; less marked differences are an overall thinner cortical thickness and a somewhat thicker molecular layer (I). Compared to area 6 of Brodmann-1909, area 10 has a subtle but clearly present internal granular layer (IV); layer 3b of the of the external pyramidal layer (III) is weakly developed and composed of medium sized pyramidal cells; and the internal pyramidal layer (V) is more developed. | Brodmann area 10 frontoplar area 10 of Brodmann-1909 Area frontopolaris Brodmann.10 |

| Brodmann (1909) area 11 | The term area 11 of Brodmann-1909 refers to a subdivision of the frontal lobe of the guenon defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture (Brodmann-1905). Distinctive features: area 11 lacks an internal granular layer (IV); larger pyramidal cells of sublayer 3b of the external pyramidal layer (III) merge with a denser self-contained collection of cells in the internal pyramidal layer (V); similar to area 10 of Brodmann-1909 is the presence in the multiform layer (VI) of trains of cells oriented parallel to the cortical surface separated by acellular fiber bundles; a thick molecular layer (I); a relatively narrow overall cortical thickness; and a gradual transition from the multiform layer (VI) to the subcortical white matter. | prefrontal area 11 of Brodmann-1909 Brodmann area 11 Area praefrontalis Brodmann.11 |

| Brodmann (1909) area 12 | The term area 12 of Brodmann-1909 refers to a subdivision of the cerebral cortex of the guenon defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture. 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. Distinctive features (Brodmann-1905): a quite distinct internal granular layer (IV) separates slender pyramidal cells of the external pyramidal layer (III) and the internal pyramidal layer (V); the multiform layer (VI) is expanded, contains widely dispersed spindle cells and merges gradually with the underlying cortical white matter; all cells, including the pyramidal cells of the external and internal pyramidal layers are inordinately small; the internal pyramidal layer (V) also contains spindle cells in groups of two to five located close to its border with the internal granular layer (IV). | prefrontal Brodmann area 12 Area praefrontalis area 12 of Brodmann-1909 Brodmann.12 |
http://braininfo.rprc.washington.edu/Scripts/hiercentraldirectory.aspx?ID=59 | |
| Brodmann (1909) area 13 | The term area 13 of Brodmann-1905 refers to a subdivision of the CEREBRAL CORTEX of the guenon defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture. Located in the posterior part of the INSULA, it shares with other parts of the insular cortex a wide molecular layer (I) and very wide multiform layer (VI). The external granular layer (II) is relatively dense. The external pyramidal layer (III) has a central stripe of less cellular density that separates two sublayers, IIIa and IIIb. The internal granular layer (IV) is sufficiently wide and dense to separate clearly sublayer IIIb from layer V. The boundary between layers V and VI is defined by larger ganglion cells, more pyramidal in shape, in layer V giving way to smaller, more spindle-shaped cells that become denser and more homogeneous deeper in layer VI. Often the spindle cells are arrayed horizontally as in the claustrum (VICl), which Brodmann considered a likely extension of layer VI beyond the extreme capsule (VICe) (Brodmann-1905). | area 13 of Brodmann-1909 Brodmann.13 |
http://braininfo.rprc.washington.edu/Scripts/hiercentraldirectory.aspx?ID=379923166 | |
| Brodmann (1909) area 14 | The term area 14 of Brodmann-1905 refers to a subdivision of the CEREBRAL CORTEX of the guenon defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture. It differs most clearly from area 13 of Brodmann-1905 in that it lacks a distinct internal granular layer (IV). Other differences are a less distinct external granular layer (II), a widening of the relatively cell-free zone of the external pyramidal layer (III); cells in the internal pyramidal layer (V) are denser and rounded; and the cells of the multiform layer (VI) assume a more distinct tangential orientation (Brodmann-1905). | area 14 of Brodmann-1909 Brodmann.14 |
http://braininfo.rprc.washington.edu/Scripts/hiercentraldirectory.aspx?ID=2049637081 | |
| Brodmann (1909) area 15 | The term area 15 of Brodmann-1905 refers to a subdivision of the CEREBRAL CORTEX of the guenon defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture. It is located in the part of the INSULA nearest the limen of insula. The cortex is somewhat thinner with less cellular density than in other parts of the INSULA. The molecular layer (I) is unusually wide; the external granular layer (II) and the external pyramidal layer (III) are less dense, and the internal granular layer (IV) is totally absent, so that the medium-sized pyramidal cells of layer III and the internal pyramidal layer (V) merge with a few isolated granular cells scattered at their boundary. The multiform layer (VI) divides into a more densely cellular outer sublayer (VIa) and a less dense inner sublayer (VIb). As in area 14 of Brodmann-1905, the sublayer VIb merges with the adjacent claustrum. The cells in all of layer VI form tangential rows similar to the formation seen in area 10 of Brodmann-1909 and area 11 of Brodmann-1909 (Brodmann-1905). | area 15 of Brodmann-1909 Brodmann.15 |

| Brodmann (1909) area 16 | The term area 16 of Brodmann-1905 refers to a subdivision of the CEREBRAL CORTEX of the guenon defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture. It is a relatively undifferentiated cortical area that Brodmann regarded as part of the INSULA because of the relation of its innermost multiform layer (VI) with the claustrum (VICl). The laminar organization of cortex is almost totally lacking. The molecular layer (I) is wide as in area 15 of Brodmann-1905. The space between layer I and layer VI is composed of a mixture of pyramidal cells and spindle cells with no significant number of granule cells. Pyramidal cells clump in the outer part to form glomeruli similar to those seen in some of the primary olfactory areas (Brodmann-1905). | area 16 of Brodmann-1909 Brodmann.16 |

| Brodmann (1909) area 17 | The term area 17 of Brodmann-1909 refers to a subdivision of the cerebral cortex of the guenon. It is the predominant cytoarchitectural component of the occipital lobe and is cytoarchitecturally homologous to striate area 17 of the human. Topographically it occupies a much greater proportion of the cerebral cortex in the monkey than in the human. Indeed, the single largest cytoarchitectural area in the monkey, it is the only cortical area in the monkey that is larger in absolute terms than its human homologue (Brodmann-1909). Distinctive features (Brodmann-1905): area 17 is relatively narrow in total thickness, the cellular layers are distinct, and cells are generally small, numerous and densely packed; the molecular layer (I) is thin and cell-free; the external granular layer is poorly developed and its boundary with the external pyramidal layer (III) is indistinct; the latter is extremely thin with a few larger pyramidal cells distributed in its deeper portion; the internal granular layer (IV) is very prominent and divided into three sublayers. 4a, 4b and 4c; subayer 4a is composed of densely packed granule cells with sparsely distributed stellate and pyramidal cells; sublayer 4b, which corresponds to the band of Gennari in myelin-stained sections, is a broad clear stripe with a string of isolated large cells distributed along its center; sublayer 4c, the darkest stained sublayer, is composed of the most densely packed cells; it can, in turn be subdivided into an outer denser portion that contains granule cells and larger polymorphic cells and an inner sparser portion composed entirely of granule cells; the internal pyramidal layer (V) is the least cellular, clearest layer with large pyramidal cells, i.e., solitary cells of Meynert, distributed along its border with the multiform layer (VI); the latter consists of two sublayers, 6a and 6b; sublayer 6a is darker stained with larger cells; sublayer 6b is lighter stained with spindle cells; the boundary between the multiform layer and the subcortical white matter is distinct. | striate Area striata Brodmann area 17 area 17 of Brodmann-1909 Brodmann.17 visual cortex |

| Brodmann (1909) area 18 | The term area 18 of Brodmann-1909 refers to a subdivision of the cerebral cortex of the guenon defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture. It is topographically and cytoarchitecturally homologous to parastriate area 18 of the human (Brodmann-1909). Distinctive features (Brodmann-1905): a wide, dense internal granular cell layer (IV); a distinct sublayer 3b of closely packed large pyramidal cells positioned in the external pyramidal layer (III) directly above layer IV; an almost cell free, narrow internal pyramidal layer (V) with no larger ganglion cells; a likewise very narrow, dense multiform layer (VI) composed of small polymorphic cells that form a distinct boundary with the underlying subcortical white matter. Like area 17 of Brodmann-1905, area 18 is relatively thin; the three deep layers are thin relative to the three outer layers; distinct boundaries between layers; abundance of granule cells; narrow layer VI; and sharp boundary between cortex and subcortical white matter. | Area parastriata Brodmann area 18 parastriate area 18 of Brodmann-1909 Brodmann.18 |

| Brodmann (1909) area 19 | The term area 19 of Brodmann-1909 refers to a subdivision of the cerebral cortex of the guenon defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture. It is cytoarchitecturally homologous to the peristriate area 19 of the human (Brodmann-1909). Distinctive features (Brodmann-1905): Compared to area 18 of Brodmann-1909, the pyramidal cells of sublayer 3b of the external pyramidal layer (III) are not as densely distributed, the layer is not as narrow, and its boundary with the internal granular layer (IV) is not as distinct; the cells in sublayer 3b are concentrated at its outer boundary leaving a narrow clear zone with no large pyramidal cells adjacent to layer IV; the granule cells of layer IV are less densely distributed and are intermixed with larger polymorphic cells so that, while the layer is still quite dark and prominent, it is somewhat widened and not as self-contained; the internal pyramidal layer (V) is characterized by large pyramidal ganglion cells, most in small groups, a pattern not seen in area 18; the cells in the multiform layer (VI) are clearly larger than in area 18; overall area 19 is somewhat thicker and less densely populated than area 18. | area 19 of Brodmann-1909 Brodmann area 19 Area peristriata peristriate Brodmann.19 |

| Brodmann (1909) area 2 | The term area 2 of Brodmann-1909 refers to a subdivision of the postcentral gyrus of the guenon defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture. Brodmann-1909 regarded it as topologically and cytoarchitecturally homologous to the human caudal postcentral area 2. Distinctive features (Brodmann-1905): compared to area 1 of Brodmann-1909, the cortical thickness of area 2 is considerably less; the pyramidal cells of sublayer 3b of the external pyramidal layer (III) are larger and much more densely distributed which produces a more distinct difference between sublayers 3a and 3b; ganglion cells of the internal pyramidal layer (V) are on average much larger and more numerous and are not infrequently intermixed with cells the size of small giant pyramidal cells; layer V is also distinctly divided into a sublayer 5a and 5b where the latter is a clear strip between sublayer 5a and the multiform layer (VI); layer VI consists of a dense outer sublayer 6a of triangular cells and a sparser deeper sublayer 6b of fusiform cells. Authors von Bonin and Bailey disputed the existence of area 2 which they sought unsuccessfully to identify in the macaque as area PD of Bonin-1947 (Bonin-1947). | Brodmann area 2 caudal postcentral area 2 of Brodmann-1909 Area postcentralis caudalis Brodmann.2 |

| Brodmann (1909) area 20 | The term area 20 of Brodmann-1909 refers to a subdivision of the cerebral cortex of the guenon defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture. It is cytoarchitecturally homologous to the inferior temporal area 20 of the human (Brodmann-1909). Distinctive features (Brodmann-1905): area 20 is similar to area 19 of Brodmann-1909 in the relative abundance of small cell types relative to the number of larger pyramidal cells; a very dense, wide internal granular layer (IV) composed almost exclusively of granule cells, as in area 18 of Brodmann-1909; a broad, clear internal pyramidal layer (V) with few cells; and a distinct multiform layer (VI). The major differences from areas 18 and 19 are somewhat lesser cell density; absence of a division of the external pyramidal layer (III) into sublayers 3a and 3b; layer V is more clearly distinguished from layer VI and, on average, has a greater density of pyramidal ganglion cells than in the other areas; layer VI is wider, more diffuse and has fewer cells that are concentrated in the outer part of the layer to produce a denser sublayer 6a and a less dense sublayer 6b. | Area temporalis inferior inferior temporal Brodmann area 20 area 20 of Brodmann-1909 Brodmann.20 |

It is cytoarchitecturally homologous to the superior temporal area 22 of the human (Brodmann-1909). Distinctive features (Brodmann-1905): compared to area 21 of Brodmann-1909 the cortical thickness of area 22 is greater; cell density is reduced overall and the internal granular layer (IV) is even less developed with fewer cells; there is no detectable boundary between the internal pyramidal layer (V) and the multiform layer (VI); as in area 21, the ganglion cells of layer V are numerous and are arrayed adjacent to its boundary with layer IV, but they are plumper and more pyramidal in shape; the polymorphic cells of the multiform layer (VI) become gradually more numerous as one goes deeper and gives way to a wide sublayer 6b of fusiform cells as one approaches the boundary of the cortex with the subcortical white matter. | area 22 of Brodmann-1909 Area temporalis superior Brodmann area 22 superior temporal Brodmann.22 |

| Brodmann (1909) area 24 | The term area 24 of Brodmann-1909 refers to a cytoarchitecturally defined cortical area that includes portions of the cingulate gyrus and the frontal lobe in the guenon. According to Walker-1940, in the macaque the molecular layer (I) is moderate in thickness; layer III is broad; layers V and VI are undifferentiated and narrow. The cells are of medium size, larger in the inner portion of layer III and outer portion of layer V, and irregularly dispersed. Walker regarded area 24 of the monkey as cytoarchitecturally homologous to the human ventral anterior cingulate area 24 and subgenual area 25. | Area cingularis anterior ventralis area 24 of Brodmann-1909 ventral anterior cingulate Brodmann area 24 Brodmann.24 |

| Brodmann (1909) area 25 | The term area 25 of Brodmann-1909 refers to a subdivision of the cerebral cortex of the guenon defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture and topology (Brodmann-1909). While Brodmann did not include it in the illustration of the guenon cortex, he described it as a portion of area 24 of Brodmann-1905 that was homologous to the subgenual area 25 of the human and that appears as Brodmann's area 25 in a topologically homologous location in Vogt-87. Note that Brodmann earlier assigned the number 25 to area 32 of Brodmann-1909 (Brodmann-1905 and Mauss-1908). | Brodmann area 25 subgenual area 25 of Brodmann-1909 Area subgenualis Brodmann.25 |

| Brodmann (1909) area 28 | The term area 28 of Brodmann-1909 refers to a subdivision of the cerebral cortex of the guenon defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture. Brodmann regarded its location adjacent to the HIPPOCAMPUS as imprecisely represented in the illustration of the cortex of the guenon brain in Brodmann-1909. It is located on the medial aspect of the temporal lobe. In the human it and the dorsal entorhinal area 34 (H) together constitute approximately the entorhinal area (Brodmann-1909). Distinctive features (Brodmann-1905): the molecular layer (I) is unusually wide; the external granular layer (II) contains nests of, for the most part, multipolar cells: the external pyramidal layer (III) contains medium sized pyramidal cells which merge with cells of the internal pyramidal layer (V); a clear cell free zone represents sublayer 5b of layer V; the multiform layer is wide and has a less clear two sublayer structure; the internal granular layer (IV) is totally absent. | area 28 of Brodmann-1909 Area entorhinalis Brodmann area 28 entorhinal Brodmann.28 |

| Brodmann (1909) area 3 | The term area 3 of Brodmann-1909 refers to a cytoarchitecturally defined portion of cerebral cortex of the guenon that is located predominantly in the postcentral gyrus, but ventrally in a portion of the precentral gyrus as well. Brodmann-1909 regarded it as topographically and cytoarchitecturally homologous to the human rostral postcentral area 3. Distinctive features (Brodmann-1905): compared to area 1 of Brodmann-1909 and area 2 of Brodmann-1909 the cortical thickness of area 3 is unusually thin, in fact, among the thinnest areas of the cerebral cortex; the cells of sublayer 3b of the external pyramidal layer (III) are smaller, plumper and more densely distributed in a tighter strip; cells of the internal granular layer (IV) are distributed more sparsely; the internal pyramidal layer (V) is relatively clear with scattered large to very large pyramid shaped ganglion cells separated by tangentially oriented fiber bundles; the multiform layer (VI) is composed of a dense population of homogeneously distributed cells such that sublayers are absent and the boundary with the subcortical white matter is distinct. According to Roberts-63 the external granular layer (II), layer III and layer IV are not clearly demarcated from each other and are all densely packed with small cells. | area 3 of Brodmann-1909 Area postcentralis oralis Brodmann area 3 Brodmann.3 rostral postcentral |

| Brodmann (1909) area 32 | The term area 32 of Brodmann-1909 refers to a subdivision of the cytoarchitecturally defined cingulate region of cerebral cortex in the guenon. This area was named 25 in Brodmann-1905 and labeled 25 in a figure contributed by Brodmann in Mauss-1908. In Brodmann-1909, however, the area was labeled 32 and the name "area 25" was attached to the area that has since been the accepted area 25 of Brodmann-1909 (Vogt-87). Distinguishing features according to Brodmann-1905: in contrast with area 6 of Brodmann-1909 the cortex of area 32 is relatively thick; the transition from cortex to white matter is more gradual; the distribution of cells is less dense; and there is no distinct boundary between the inner pyramidal layer (V) and the multiform layer (VI); it is similar to area 6 in the general absence of distinct layers, particularly of an internal granular layer (IV), but differs in that cells are smaller and there is an increased density of medium sized pyramidal cells at the level of layer IV; this population of cells makes area 32 similar to the neighboring area 24 of Brodmann-1909; it differs from area 24 by its greater overall thickness and a particularly thick layer VI that merges gradually with the subcortical white matter. Brodmann-1909 regarded area 32 as topologically, but not cytoarchitecturally, homologous to the human dorsal anterior cingulate area 32; area 25 of Walker-1940 is topologically homologous to area 32. | Brodmann area 32 Area cingularis anterior dorsalis dorsal anterior cingulate area 32 of Brodmann-1909 Brodmann.32 |

Distinctive features (Brodmann-1905): the molecular layer (I) is cell free; the external granular layer (II) contains a population composed primarily of granule cells superfically with some small pyramidal cells and stellate cells in its deeper portion; the most densely populated layer is the internal granular layer (IV) which contains small round darkly stained cells with little cytoplasm and larger pyramidal cells or stellate cells sparsely intermixed; the internal pyramidal layer (V), relatively wide and distinct ly bounded by layer IV and the multiform layer (VI), has a dense population of medium sized ganglion cells and pyramidal cells concentrated along its border with layer IV and a clear sublayer 5b containing fewer and smaller cells adjacent to layer VI; layer VI has an abundant neuronal population that is divisible into a sublayer 6a composed primarily of medium sized triangular and larger pyramidal cells, and a deeper sublayer 6b composed strictly of small fusiform cells that are less densely distributed; layer VI is quite wide and it merges gradually with the subcortical white matter. | Area postcentralis intermedia Brodmann.1 Brodmann area 1, intermediate postcentral area 1 of Brodmann-1909 |

| Brodmann area 10 | The term area 10 of Brodmann-1909 refers to a subdivision of the frontal lobe of the guenon defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture. Brodmann-1909 did not regard it as cytoarchitecturally homologous to his human frontopolar area 10. Distinctive features (Brodmann-1905): compared to area 9 of Brodmann-1909, the multiform layer (VI) of area 10 shows an unusual organization of cells into trains oriented parallel to the cortical surface that are separated from one another by narrow cell-free fiber bundles; less marked differences are an overall thinner cortical thickness and a somewhat thicker molecular layer (I). Compared to area 6 of Brodmann-1909, area 10 has a subtle but clearly present internal granular layer (IV); layer 3b of the of the external pyramidal layer (III) is weakly developed and composed of medium sized pyramidal cells; and the internal pyramidal layer (V) is more developed. | area 10 of Brodmann-1909 Area frontopolaris Brodmann.10 Brodmann area 10, frontoplar |

| Brodmann area 11 | The term area 11 of Brodmann-1909 refers to a subdivision of the frontal lobe of the guenon defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture (Brodmann-1905). Distinctive features: area 11 lacks an internal granular layer (IV); larger pyramidal cells of sublayer 3b of the external pyramidal layer (III) merge with a denser self-contained collection of cells in the internal pyramidal layer (V); similar to area 10 of Brodmann-1909 is the presence in the multiform layer (VI) of trains of cells oriented parallel to the cortical surface separated by acellular fiber bundles; a thick molecular layer (I); a relatively narrow overall cortical thickness; and a gradual transition from the multiform layer (VI) to the subcortical white matter. | Area praefrontalis area 11 of Brodmann-1909 Brodmann area 11, prefrontal Brodmann.11 |

| Brodmann area 12 | The term area 12 of Brodmann-1909 refers to a subdivision of the cerebral cortex of the guenon defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture. 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. Distinctive features (Brodmann-1905): a quite distinct internal granular layer (IV) separates slender pyramidal cells of the external pyramidal layer (III) and the internal pyramidal layer (V); the multiform layer (VI) is expanded, contains widely dispersed spindle cells and merges gradually with the underlying cortical white matter; all cells, including the pyramidal cells of the external and internal pyramidal layers are inordinately small; the internal pyramidal layer (V) also contains spindle cells in groups of two to five located close to its border with the internal granular layer (IV). | Brodmann.12 area 12 of Brodmann-1909 Brodmann area 12, prefrontal Area praefrontalis |

| Brodmann area 13 | The term area 13 of Brodmann-1905 refers to a subdivision of the CEREBRAL CORTEX of the guenon defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture. Located in the posterior part of the INSULA, it shares with other parts of the insular cortex a wide molecular layer (I) and very wide multiform layer (VI). The external granular layer (II) is relatively dense. The external pyramidal layer (III) has a central stripe of less cellular density that separates two sublayers, IIIa and IIIb. The internal granular layer (IV) is sufficiently wide and dense to separate clearly sublayer IIIb from layer V. The boundary between layers V and VI is defined by larger ganglion cells, more pyramidal in shape, in layer V giving way to smaller, more spindle-shaped cells that become denser and more homogeneous deeper in layer VI. Often the spindle cells are arrayed horizontally as in the claustrum (VICl), which Brodmann considered a likely extension of layer VI beyond the extreme capsule (VICe) (Brodmann-1905). | Brodmann.13 area 13 of Brodmann-1909 |

| Brodmann area 14 | The term area 14 of Brodmann-1905 refers to a subdivision of the CEREBRAL CORTEX of the guenon defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture. It differs most clearly from area 13 of Brodmann-1905 in that it lacks a distinct internal granular layer (IV). Other differences are a less distinct external granular layer (II), a widening of the relatively cell-free zone of the external pyramidal layer (III); cells in the internal pyramidal layer (V) are denser and rounded; and the cells of the multiform layer (VI) assume a more distinct tangential orientation (Brodmann-1905). | Brodmann.14 area 14 of Brodmann-1909 |

| Brodmann area 15 | The term area 15 of Brodmann-1905 refers to a subdivision of the CEREBRAL CORTEX of the guenon defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture. It is located in the part of the INSULA nearest the limen of insula. The cortex is somewhat thinner with less cellular density than in other parts of the INSULA. The molecular layer (I) is unusually wide; the external granular layer (II) and the external pyramidal layer (III) are less dense, and the internal granular layer (IV) is totally absent, so that the medium-sized pyramidal cells of layer III and the internal pyramidal layer (V) merge with a few isolated granular cells scattered at their boundary. The multiform layer (VI) divides into a more densely cellular outer sublayer (VIa) and a less dense inner sublayer (VIb). As in area 14 of Brodmann-1905, the sublayer VIb merges with the adjacent claustrum. The cells in all of layer VI form tangential rows similar to the formation seen in area 10 of Brodmann-1909 and area 11 of Brodmann-1909 (Brodmann-1905). | area 15 of Brodmann-1909 Brodmann.15 |

| Brodmann area 16 | The term area 16 of Brodmann-1905 refers to a subdivision of the CEREBRAL CORTEX of the guenon defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture. It is a relatively undifferentiated cortical area that Brodmann regarded as part of the INSULA because of the relation of its innermost multiform layer (VI) with the claustrum (VICl). The laminar organization of cortex is almost totally lacking. The molecular layer (I) is wide as in area 15 of Brodmann-1905. The space between layer I and layer VI is composed of a mixture of pyramidal cells and spindle cells with no significant number of granule cells. Pyramidal cells clump in the outer part to form glomeruli similar to those seen in some of the primary olfactory areas (Brodmann-1905). | Brodmann.16 area 16 of Brodmann-1909 |

| Brodmann area 17 | The term area 17 of Brodmann-1909 refers to a subdivision of the cerebral cortex of the guenon. It is the predominant cytoarchitectural component of the occipital lobe and is cytoarchitecturally homologous to striate area 17 of the human. Topographically it occupies a much greater proportion of the cerebral cortex in the monkey than in the human. Indeed, the single largest cytoarchitectural area in the monkey, it is the only cortical area in the monkey that is larger in absolute terms than its human homologue (Brodmann-1909). Distinctive features (Brodmann-1905): area 17 is relatively narrow in total thickness, the cellular layers are distinct, and cells are generally small, numerous and densely packed; the molecular layer (I) is thin and cell-free; the external granular layer is poorly developed and its boundary with the external pyramidal layer (III) is indistinct; the latter is extremely thin with a few larger pyramidal cells distributed in its deeper portion; the internal granular layer (IV) is very prominent and divided into three sublayers. 4a, 4b and 4c; subayer 4a is composed of densely packed granule cells with sparsely distributed stellate and pyramidal cells; sublayer 4b, which corresponds to the band of Gennari in myelin-stained sections, is a broad clear stripe with a string of isolated large cells distributed along its center; sublayer 4c, the darkest stained sublayer, is composed of the most densely packed cells; it can, in turn be subdivided into an outer denser portion that contains granule cells and larger polymorphic cells and an inner sparser portion composed entirely of granule cells; the internal pyramidal layer (V) is the least cellular, clearest layer with large pyramidal cells, i.e., solitary cells of Meynert, distributed along its border with the multiform layer (VI); the latter consists of two sublayers, 6a and 6b; sublayer 6a is darker stained with larger cells; sublayer 6b is lighter stained with spindle cells; the boundary between the multiform layer and the subcortical white matter is distinct. | Brodmann.17 area 17 of Brodmann-1909 Area striata Brodmann area 17, striate |

| Brodmann area 18 | The term area 18 of Brodmann-1909 refers to a subdivision of the cerebral cortex of the guenon defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture. It is topographically and cytoarchitecturally homologous to parastriate area 18 of the human (Brodmann-1909). Distinctive features (Brodmann-1905): a wide, dense internal granular cell layer (IV); a distinct sublayer 3b of closely packed large pyramidal cells positioned in the external pyramidal layer (III) directly above layer IV; an almost cell free, narrow internal pyramidal layer (V) with no larger ganglion cells; a likewise very narrow, dense multiform layer (VI) composed of small polymorphic cells that form a distinct boundary with the underlying subcortical white matter. Like area 17 of Brodmann-1905, area 18 is relatively thin; the three deep layers are thin relative to the three outer layers; distinct boundaries between layers; abundance of granule cells; narrow layer VI; and sharp boundary between cortex and subcortical white matter. | Brodmann area 18, parastriate Area parastriata Brodmann.18 area 18 of Brodmann-1909 |

| Brodmann area 19 | The term area 19 of Brodmann-1909 refers to a subdivision of the cerebral cortex of the guenon defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture. It is cytoarchitecturally homologous to the peristriate area 19 of the human (Brodmann-1909). Distinctive features (Brodmann-1905): Compared to area 18 of Brodmann-1909, the pyramidal cells of sublayer 3b of the external pyramidal layer (III) are not as densely distributed, the layer is not as narrow, and its boundary with the internal granular layer (IV) is not as distinct; the cells in sublayer 3b are concentrated at its outer boundary leaving a narrow clear zone with no large pyramidal cells adjacent to layer IV; the granule cells of layer IV are less densely distributed and are intermixed with larger polymorphic cells so that, while the layer is still quite dark and prominent, it is somewhat widened and not as self-contained; the internal pyramidal layer (V) is characterized by large pyramidal ganglion cells, most in small groups, a pattern not seen in area 18; the cells in the multiform layer (VI) are clearly larger than in area 18; overall area 19 is somewhat thicker and less densely populated than area 18. | Area peristriata Brodmann area 19, peristriate Brodmann.19 area 19 of Brodmann-1909 |

| Brodmann area 2 | The term area 2 of Brodmann-1909 refers to a subdivision of the postcentral gyrus of the guenon defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture. Brodmann-1909 regarded it as topologically and cytoarchitecturally homologous to the human caudal postcentral area 2. Distinctive features (Brodmann-1905): compared to area 1 of Brodmann-1909, the cortical thickness of area 2 is considerably less; the pyramidal cells of sublayer 3b of the external pyramidal layer (III) are larger and much more densely distributed which produces a more distinct difference between sublayers 3a and 3b; ganglion cells of the internal pyramidal layer (V) are on average much larger and more numerous and are not infrequently intermixed with cells the size of small giant pyramidal cells; layer V is also distinctly divided into a sublayer 5a and 5b where the latter is a clear strip between sublayer 5a and the multiform layer (VI); layer VI consists of a dense outer sublayer 6a of triangular cells and a sparser deeper sublayer 6b of fusiform cells. Authors von Bonin and Bailey disputed the existence of area 2 which they sought unsuccessfully to identify in the macaque as area PD of Bonin-1947 (Bonin-1947). | area 2 of Brodmann-1909 Brodmann.2 Area postcentralis caudalis Brodmann area 2, caudal postcentral |

| Brodmann area 20 | The term area 20 of Brodmann-1909 refers to a subdivision of the cerebral cortex of the guenon defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture. It is cytoarchitecturally homologous to the inferior temporal area 20 of the human (Brodmann-1909). Distinctive features (Brodmann-1905): area 20 is similar to area 19 of Brodmann-1909 in the relative abundance of small cell types relative to the number of larger pyramidal cells; a very dense, wide internal granular layer (IV) composed almost exclusively of granule cells, as in area 18 of Brodmann-1909; a broad, clear internal pyramidal layer (V) with few cells; and a distinct multiform layer (VI). The major differences from areas 18 and 19 are somewhat lesser cell density; absence of a division of the external pyramidal layer (III) into sublayers 3a and 3b; layer V is more clearly distinguished from layer VI and, on average, has a greater density of pyramidal ganglion cells than in the other areas; layer VI is wider, more diffuse and has fewer cells that are concentrated in the outer part of the layer to produce a denser sublayer 6a and a less dense sublayer 6b. | Brodmann area 20, inferior temporal area 20 of Brodmann-1909 Brodmann.20 Area temporalis inferior |

| Brodmann area 21 | The term area 21 of Brodmann-1909 refers to a subdivision of the cerebral cortex of the guenon defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture. It is cytoarchitecturally homologous to the middle temporal area 21 of the human (Brodmann-1909). Distinctive features (Brodmann-1905): Compared to area 20 of Brodmann-1909, the total cortical thickness of area 21 is greater, the granular cells are less abundant, and the boundary with the subcortical white matter is less distinct; the molecular layer (I) is wider; the pyramidal cells of sublayer 3b of the external pyramidal layer (III) are larger; the internal granular layer (IV) is less developed and contains fewer cells; ganglion cells of the internal pyramidal layer (V) are larger, rounder, and densely arrayed adjacent to layer IV; the boundary between layer V and the multiform layer (VI) is indistinct; and layer VI is wider and has no sublayers. | Area temporalis media Brodmann area 21, middle temporal Brodmann.21 area 21 of Brodmann-1909 |

| Brodmann area 22 | The term area 22 of Brodmann-1909 refers to a subdivision of the cerebral cortex of the guenon defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture. It is cytoarchitecturally homologous to the superior temporal area 22 of the human (Brodmann-1909). Distinctive features (Brodmann-1905): compared to area 21 of Brodmann-1909 the cortical thickness of area 22 is greater; cell density is reduced overall and the internal granular layer (IV) is even less developed with fewer cells; there is no detectable boundary between the internal pyramidal layer (V) and the multiform layer (VI); as in area 21, the ganglion cells of layer V are numerous and are arrayed adjacent to its boundary with layer IV, but they are plumper and more pyramidal in shape; the polymorphic cells of the multiform layer (VI) become gradually more numerous as one goes deeper and gives way to a wide sublayer 6b of fusiform cells as one approaches the boundary of the cortex with the subcortical white matter. | Area temporalis superior Brodmann area 22, superior temporal Brodmann.22 area 22 of Brodmann-1909 |

| Brodmann area 23 | The term area 23 of Brodmann-1909 refers to a subdivision of the cerebral cortex of the guenon defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture. Brodmann regarded it as topographically and cytoarchitecturally homologous to the combined ventral posterior cingulate area 23 and dorsal posterior cingulate area 31 of the human (Brodmann-1909). Distinctive Features (Brodmann-1905): the cortex is relatively thin; smaller cells predominate; the cell density of the multiform layer (VI) is great, producing a distinct boundary with the subcortical white matter; the internal granular layer (IV) is rather well developed; the internal pyramidal layer (V) contains a dense population of round, medium-sized ganglion cells concentrated at the border with layer IV; layers V and VI are narrow with a distinct mutual boundary. | Brodmann.23 Brodmann area 23, ventral posterior cingulate area 23 of Brodmann-1909 Area cingularis posterior ventralis |

| Brodmann area 24 | The term area 24 of Brodmann-1909 refers to a cytoarchitecturally defined cortical area that includes portions of the cingulate gyrus and the frontal lobe in the guenon. According to Walker-1940, in the macaque the molecular layer (I) is moderate in thickness; layer III is broad; layers V and VI are undifferentiated and narrow. The cells are of medium size, larger in the inner portion of layer III and outer portion of layer V, and irregularly dispersed. Walker regarded area 24 of the monkey as cytoarchitecturally homologous to the human ventral anterior cingulate area 24 and subgenual area 25. | Brodmann area 24, ventral anterior cingulate area 24 of Brodmann-1909 Area cingularis anterior ventralis Brodmann.24 |

| Brodmann area 25 | The term area 25 of Brodmann-1909 refers to a subdivision of the cerebral cortex of the guenon defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture and topology (Brodmann-1909). While Brodmann did not include it in the illustration of the guenon cortex, he described it as a portion of area 24 of Brodmann-1905 that was homologous to the subgenual area 25 of the human and that appears as Brodmann's area 25 in a topologically homologous location in Vogt-87. Note that Brodmann earlier assigned the number 25 to area 32 of Brodmann-1909 (Brodmann-1905 and Mauss-1908). | Area subgenualis area 25 of Brodmann-1909 Brodmann area 25, subgenual Brodmann.25 |

| Brodmann area 26 | The term area 26 of Brodmann-1909 refers to a subdivision of the cerebral cortex of the guenon defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture. The smallest of Brodmann's cortical areas in the monkey, it represents cortex that is less differentiated and relatively smaller in monkey and human than in other species. Brodmann regarded it as topographically and cytoarchitecturally homologous to the combined human ectosplenial area 26, granular retrolimbic area 29 and agranular retrolimbic area 30 (Brodmann-1909). Distinctive features (Brodmann-1905): thin cortex; distinct but narrow layers. | area 26 of Brodmann-1909 Brodmann.26 Brodmann area 26, ectosplenial Area ectosplenialis |

| Brodmann area 27 | The term area 27 of Brodmann-1909 refers to a cytoarchitecturally defined cortical area that is a rostral part of the PARAHIPPOCAMPAL GYRUS of the guenon (Brodmann-1909). It is commonly regarded as a synonym of presubiculum (Crosby-62). | Brodmann area 26, presubicular Brodmann.27 Area praesubicularis area 27 of Brodmann-1909 |

| Brodmann area 28 | The term area 28 of Brodmann-1909 refers to a subdivision of the cerebral cortex of the guenon defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture. Brodmann regarded its location adjacent to the HIPPOCAMPUS as imprecisely represented in the illustration of the cortex of the guenon brain in Brodmann-1909. It is located on the medial aspect of the temporal lobe. In the human it and the dorsal entorhinal area 34 (H) together constitute approximately the entorhinal area (Brodmann-1909). Distinctive features (Brodmann-1905): the molecular layer (I) is unusually wide; the external granular layer (II) contains nests of, for the most part, multipolar cells: the external pyramidal layer (III) contains medium sized pyramidal cells which merge with cells of the internal pyramidal layer (V); a clear cell free zone represents sublayer 5b of layer V; the multiform layer is wide and has a less clear two sublayer structure; the internal granular layer (IV) is totally absent. | Area entorhinalis Brodmann area 28, entorhinal area 28 of Brodmann-1909 Brodmann.28 |

| Brodmann area 3 | The term area 3 of Brodmann-1909 refers to a cytoarchitecturally defined portion of cerebral cortex of the guenon that is located predominantly in the postcentral gyrus, but ventrally in a portion of the precentral gyrus as well. Brodmann-1909 regarded it as topographically and cytoarchitecturally homologous to the human rostral postcentral area 3. Distinctive features (Brodmann-1905): compared to area 1 of Brodmann-1909 and area 2 of Brodmann-1909 the cortical thickness of area 3 is unusually thin, in fact, among the thinnest areas of the cerebral cortex; the cells of sublayer 3b of the external pyramidal layer (III) are smaller, plumper and more densely distributed in a tighter strip; cells of the internal granular layer (IV) are distributed more sparsely; the internal pyramidal layer (V) is relatively clear with scattered large to very large pyramid shaped ganglion cells separated by tangentially oriented fiber bundles; the multiform layer (VI) is composed of a dense population of homogeneously distributed cells such that sublayers are absent and the boundary with the subcortical white matter is distinct. According to Roberts-63 the external granular layer (II), layer III and layer IV are not clearly demarcated from each other and are all densely packed with small cells. | area 3 of Brodmann-1909 Brodmann.3 Brodmann area 3, rostral postcentral Area postcentralis oralis |

| Brodmann area 32 | The term area 32 of Brodmann-1909 refers to a subdivision of the cytoarchitecturally defined cingulate region of cerebral cortex in the guenon. This area was named 25 in Brodmann-1905 and labeled 25 in a figure contributed by Brodmann in Mauss-1908. In Brodmann-1909, however, the area was labeled 32 and the name "area 25" was attached to the area that has since been the accepted area 25 of Brodmann-1909 (Vogt-87). Distinguishing features according to Brodmann-1905: in contrast with area 6 of Brodmann-1909 the cortex of area 32 is relatively thick; the transition from cortex to white matter is more gradual; the distribution of cells is less dense; and there is no distinct boundary between the inner pyramidal layer (V) and the multiform layer (VI); it is similar to area 6 in the general absence of distinct layers, particularly of an internal granular layer (IV), but differs in that cells are smaller and there is an increased density of medium sized pyramidal cells at the level of layer IV; this population of cells makes area 32 similar to the neighboring area 24 of Brodmann-1909; it differs from area 24 by its greater overall thickness and a particularly thick layer VI that merges gradually with the subcortical white matter. Brodmann-1909 regarded area 32 as topologically, but not cytoarchitecturally, homologous to the human dorsal anterior cingulate area 32; area 25 of Walker-1940 is topologically homologous to area 32. | area 32 of Brodmann-1909 Brodmann area 32, dorsal anterior cingulate Brodmann.32 Area cingularis anterior dorsalis |

Brodmann-1909 regarded it as topographically and cytoarchitecturally homologous to the human gigantopyramidal area 4 and noted that it occupies a much greater fraction of the frontal lobe in the monkey than in the human. Distinctive features (Brodmann-1905): the cortex is unusually thick; the layers are not distinct; the cells are relatively sparsely distributed; giant pyramidal (Betz) cells are present in the internal pyramidal layer (V); lack of an internal granular layer (IV) such that the boundary between the external pyramidal layer (III) and the internal pyramidal layer (V) is indistinct; lack of a distinct external granular layer (II); a gradual transition from the multiform layer (VI) to the subcortical white matter. | Brodmann area 4, gigantopyramidal area 4 of Brodmann-1909 Area gigantopyramidalis Brodmann.4 Primary Motor cortex M1 |

| Brodmann area 5 | The term area 5 of Brodmann-1909 refers to a subdivision of the parietal lobe of the guenon defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture. It occupies primarily the superior parietal lobule. Brodmann-1909 considered it topologically and cytoarchitecturally homologous to the preparietal area 5 of the human. Distinctive features (Brodmann-1905): compared to area 4 of Brodmann-1909 area 5 has a thick self-contained internal granular layer (IV); lacks a distinct internal pyramidal layer (V); has a marked sublayer 3b of pyramidal cells in the external pyramidal layer (III); has a distinct boundary between the internal pyramidal layer (V) and the multiform layer (VI); and has ganglion cells in layer V beneath its boundary with layer IV that are separated from layer VI by a wide clear zone. | Brodmann.5 area 5 of Brodmann-1909 Area praeparietalis Brodmann area 5, preparietal |

| Brodmann area 6 | The term area 6 of Brodmann-1909 refers to a cytoarchitecturally defined portion of the frontal lobe of the guenon. Brodmann-1909 regarded it as topographically and cytoarchitecturally homologous to the human agranular frontal area 6 and noted that in the monkey area 4 is larger than area 6, while in the human area 6 is larger than area 4. Distinctive features (Brodmann-1905): it is thick relative to other cortical areas; the transition from cortex to subcortical white matter is gradual; cell layers are indistinct; and the internal granular layer (IV) is absent. | Area frontalis agranularis Brodmann area 6, agranular frontal area 6 of Brodmann-1909 Brodmann.6 |

| Brodmann area 7 | The term area 7 of Brodmann-1909 refers to a subdivision of the cytoarchitecturally defined parietal region of cerebral cortex in the guenon. It occupies most of the parietal lobe excluding the postcentral gyrus and superior parietal lobule. Brodmann-1909 considered it topologically homologous to the combined superior parietal area 7, the supramarginal area 40 (H) and the angular area 39 (H) of the human. Cytoarchitecurally he regarded it as "a still undifferentiated precursor zone for all parietal areas (apart from area 5) (Garey-1999). Distinctive features (Brodmann-1905): in area 7 compared to area 5 of Brodmann-1909, large ganglion cells are absent from the internal pyramidal layer (V); the pyramidal cells of the external pyramidal layer (III) sublayer 3b are, on average, larger; the multiform layer (VI) is denser and narrower and more sharply bounded by subcortical white matter. | Brodmann.7 area 7 of Brodmann-1909 Area parietalis superior Brodmann area 7, superior parietal |

| Brodmann area 8 | The term area 8 of Brodmann-1909 refers to a cytoarchitecturally defined portion of the frontal lobe of the guenon. Located rostral to the arcuate sulcus, it was not considered by Brodmann-1909 to be topographically homologous to the intermediate frontal area 8 of the human. Distinctive features (Brodmann-1905): compared to area 6 of Brodmann-1909, area 8 has a diffuse but clearly present internal granular layer (IV);sublayer 3b of the external pyramidal layer (III) has densely distributed medium sized pyramidal cells; the internal pyramidal layer (V) has larger ganglion cells densely distributed with some granule cells interspersed; the external granular layer (II) is denser and broader; cell layers are more distinct; the abundance of cells is somewhat greater. | area 8 of Brodmann-1909 Area frontalis intermedia Brodmann.8 Brodmann area 8, intermediate frontal |

| Brodmann area 8a | The term area 8a of Brodmann-1905 refers to an area located on the posterior "lip" of the middle frontal gyrus that was defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture in the guenon. In comparison with area 8 of Brodmann-1909, area 8a showed more pronounced layers of large pyramidal cells (layer IIIb in the external pyramidal layer (III)) and of ganglion cells in the internal pyramidal layer (V); the internal granular layer (IV) was less pronounced. The internal structure of the area was illustrated in Brodmann-1905. It was not mentioned or illustrated in the map of Brodmann's areas in Brodmann-1909. | Brodmann.8a area 8a of Brodmann-1909 |

| Brodmann area 9 | The term area 9 of Brodmann-1909 refers to a cytoarchitecturally defined portion of the frontal lobe of the guenon. Brodmann-1909 regarded it on the whole as topographically and cytoarchitecturally homologous to the granular frontal area 9 and frontopolar area 10 in the human. Distinctive features (Brodmann-1905): unlike area 6 of Brodmann-1909, area 9 has a distinct internal granular layer (IV); unlike area 6 or area 8 of Brodmann-1909 its internal pyramdal layer (V) is divisible into two sublayers, an outer layer 5a of densely distributed medium sized ganglion cells that partially merges with layer IV, and an inner, clearer, cell-poor layer 5b; the pyramidal cells of sublayer 3b of the external pyramidal layer (III) are smaller and sparser in distribution; the external granular layer (II) is narrow, with small numbers of sparsely distributed granule cells. | area 9 of Brodmann-1909 Brodmann.9 Area frontalis granularis Brodmann area 9, granular frontal |

| Brodmann partion scheme region | The term Brodmann's areas refers to segmentation of the cerebral cortex on the basis of cytoarchitecture as described in Brodmann-1905, Brodmann-1909 and Brodmann-10. Maps for several species were presented. NeuroNames includes only areas in the human and in Old World monkeys. Of the latter, Brodmann studied representatives of several species including guenons (one Cercopithecus mona, one Cercocebus torquatus, and one Cercopithecus otherwise unspecified), which are all closely related African species, and one macaque (Macaca mulatta) an Asian species (Brodmann-1905). The legend to the summary map in Brodmann-1909 ascribes the areas simply to Cercopithecus. Brodmann referenced the areas by name and number. The same area number in humans and monkeys did not necessarily refer to topologically or cytoarchitecturally homologous structures. In NeuroNames the standard term for human areas consists of the English translation of Brodmann's Latin name followed by the number he assigned, e.g., agranular frontal area 6; the standard terms for monkey areas are in the format: area 6 of Brodmann-1909. He mapped a portion of areas limited to the banks of sulci, e.g., area 3 of Brodmann-1909 (Brodmann-1909) onto the adjacent, visible surface. This accounts for the fact that some areas appear larger on his surface map than on maps of other authors, e.g., area 3 of Vogts-1919. | Brodmann's areas Brodmann partition scheme Brodmann parcellation scheme |

| Pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus | A cell group originally defined by Jacobsohn in 1909 in humans, consisting of large, darkly staining neurons adjacent to the superior cerebellar peduncle at the midbrain-pontine junction. In 1983, Armstrong et al. recognized that these neurons in rats are cholinergic, and closely related to a second cluster of cholinergic cells in the adjacent laterodorsal tegmental nucleus. In 1987, Rye et al. defined this cell group in rats, gave references to the earlier literature, and demonstrated that it is NOT the target of the descending pallidal projection, but rather next to a region, the Midbrain Extrapyramidal Area (MEA) that does receive this input. Some modern definitions include many non-cholinergic cells that are interspersed among the cholinergic neurons within the "PPT," but those other cell groups often extend beyond the borders of the cholinergic one, have never been characterized, and many are probably unrelated to it (or have quite different functions). Hence, for this definition, we are restricting the use to the cholinergic cell group, which was originally given this name by Jacobsohn. | http://braininfo.rprc.washington.edu/Scripts/hiercentraldirectory.aspx?ID=495 | ||

| Prefrontal cortex | is the anterior part of the frontal lobes of the brain, lying in front of the motor and premotor areas.
This brain region has been implicated in planning complex cognitive behaviors, personality expression, decision making and moderating correct social behavior. The basic activity of this brain region is considered to be orchestration of thoughts and actions in accordance with internal goals. The most typical psychological term for functions carried out by the pre-frontal cortex area is executive function. Executive function relates to abilities to differentiate among conflicting thoughts, determine good and bad, better and best, same and different, future consequences of current activities, working toward a defined goal, prediction of outcomes, expectation based on actions, and social "control" (the ability to suppress urges that, if not suppressed, could lead to socially-unacceptable outcomes). Many authors have indicated an integral link between a person's personality and the functions of the prefrontal cortex. - definition adapted from Wikipedia |

| Primary olfactory cortex | The term primary olfactory areas in the primate, refers to a group of structures defined by connectivity, namely, structures that receive axons from the olfactory bulb.

| Telencephalon | The telencephalon is the name for a large region within the brain that is attributed many functions. Many people refer to it as the cerebrum; however, it is technically referred to as the telencephalon. As a more technical definition, the telencephalon refers to the cerebral hemispheres and other, smaller structures within the brain, although the telencephalon is one of the larger divisions (in terms of number). It is the anterior-most embryological division of the brain that develops from the prosencephalon. The telencephalon is composed of the following sub-regions; Limbic system; Cerebral cortex or cortices of the cerebral hemispheres, Basal ganglia, Olfactory bulb. The telencephalon comprises what most people think of as the "brain." It lies on top of the brainstem and is the largest and most well-developed of the five major divisions of the brain. The telencephalon is the newest structure in the phylogenetic sense, with mammals having the largest and most well-developed among all species. It emerges from the prosencephalon, the first of three vesicles that form from the embryonic neural tube (Christine Fennema-Notestine). | http://braininfo.rprc.washington.edu/Scripts/hiercentraldirectory.aspx?ID=12 | ||
