  2. Primary olfactory cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_olfactory_cortex

    The primary olfactory cortex is in the inferior part of the temporal lobe of the brain. [1] It involves the anterior olfactory nucleus, [2] the piriform cortex, [2] the olfactory tubercle, [2] part of the amygdala, [2] part of the entorhinal cortex, [2] [3] and the periamygdaloid cortex. [2] [4] Some sources state that it also includes the ...

  3. Brodmann area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brodmann_area

    A Brodmann area is a region of the cerebral cortex, in the human or other [citation needed] primate brain, defined by its cytoarchitecture, or histological structure and organization of cells. The concept was first introduced by the German anatomist Korbinian Brodmann in the early 20th century.

  4. Primary sensory areas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_sensory_areas

    The area includes gray matter along the central gyrus and its extension into the postcentral gyrus. Taste: The primary gustatory area consists of the anterior part of the insula and the frontal operculum. [2] [3] [4] Olfaction: The olfactory cortex is located in the uncus which is found along the ventral surface of the temporal lobe. Olfaction ...

  5. Sensory nervous system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_nervous_system

    The visual cortex refers to the primary visual cortex, labeled V1 or Brodmann area 17, as well as the extrastriate visual cortical areas V2-V5. [20] Located in the occipital lobe, V1 acts as the primary relay station for visual input, transmitting information to two primary pathways labeled the dorsal and ventral streams. The dorsal stream ...

  6. Olfactory system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olfactory_system

    7190. Anatomical terminology. [ edit on Wikidata] The olfactory system, or sense of smell, is the sensory system used for olfaction (i.e., smelling). Olfaction is one of the special senses directly associated with specific organs. Most mammals and reptiles have a main olfactory system and an accessory olfactory system.

  7. Brodmann area 22 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brodmann_area_22

    Brodmann area 22 is a Brodmann's area that is cytoarchitecturally located in the posterior superior temporal gyrus of the brain. [1] In the left cerebral hemisphere, it is one portion of Wernicke's area. [1] The left hemisphere BA22 helps with generation and understanding of individual words. On the right side of the brain, BA22 helps to ...

  8. Brodmann area 16 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brodmann_area_16

    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).

  9. Brodmann area 4 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brodmann_area_4

    Brodmann area 4 refers to the primary motor cortex of the human brain. It is located in the posterior portion of the frontal lobe. Brodmann area 4 is part of the precentral gyrus. The borders of this area are: the precentral sulcus in front (anteriorly), the medial longitudinal fissure at the top (medially), the central sulcus in back ...
