  2. Operculum (brain) - Wikipedia

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

    In human brain anatomy, an operculum (Latin, meaning "little lid") (pl.: opercula), may refer to the frontal, temporal, or parietal operculum, which together cover the insula as the opercula of insula. [1] It can also refer to the occipital operculum, part of the occipital lobe. The insular lobe is a portion of the cerebral cortex that has ...

  3. Inferior frontal gyrus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferior_frontal_gyrus

    61860. Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy. [edit on Wikidata] The inferior frontal gyrus (IFG), (gyrus frontalis inferior), is the lowest positioned gyrus of the frontal gyri, of the frontal lobe, and is part of the prefrontal cortex. Its superior border is the inferior frontal sulcus (which divides it from the middle frontal gyrus), its inferior ...

  4. Fish anatomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_anatomy

    Fish anatomy. Fish anatomy is the study of the form or morphology of fish. It can be contrasted with fish physiology, which is the study of how the component parts of fish function together in the living fish. [1] In practice, fish anatomy and fish physiology complement each other, the former dealing with the structure of a fish, its organs or ...

  5. Orbital part of inferior frontal gyrus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_part_of_inferior...

    The orbital part of inferior frontal gyrus also known as the pars orbitalis is the orbital part of the inferior frontal gyrus. [1]In humans, this region is bordered by the triangular part of the inferior frontal gyrus (pars triangularis) and, surrounding the anterior horizontal limb of the lateral sulcus, a portion of the opercular part of inferior frontal gyrus (pars opercularis).

  6. Occipital lobe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occipital_lobe

    The occipital lobe is one of the four major lobes of the cerebral cortex in the brain of mammals. The name derives from its position at the back of the head, from the Latin ob, 'behind', and caput, 'head'. The occipital lobe is the visual processing center of the mammalian brain containing most of the anatomical region of the visual cortex. [1]

  7. Broca's area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broca's_area

    In the classical sense, expressive aphasia is the result of injury to Broca's area; it is often the case that lesions in specific brain areas cause specific, dissociable symptoms, [31] although case studies show there is not always a one-to-one mapping between lesion location and aphasic symptoms. [29]

  8. Secondary somatosensory cortex - Wikipedia

    S2 is colored green and the insular cortex brown in the top right image (coronal section) of the human brain. S1 is green in the top left, and the supplementary somatosensory area is green in the bottom left. The human secondary somatosensory cortex (S2, SII) is a region of sensory cortex in the parietal operculum on the ceiling of the lateral ...

  9. Gustatory cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustatory_cortex

    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] Because of its composition the primary gustatory cortex is sometimes referred ...
