  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

    The primary visual cortex (Brodmann area 17), which is the main recipient of direct input from the visual part of the thalamus, contains many neurons that are most easily activated by edges with a particular orientation moving across a particular point in the visual field.

  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. Piriform cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piriform_cortex

    Sometimes called the olfactory cortex, olfactory lobe or paleopallium, piriform cortical regions are present in the brains of amphibians, reptiles and mammals.. The piriform cortex is among three areas that emerge in the telencephalon of amphibians, situated caudally to a dorsal area, which is caudal to a hippocampal area.

  6. Auditory cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auditory_cortex

    This cortex area is the neural crux of hearing, and—in humans—language and music. The auditory cortex is divided into three separate parts: the primary, secondary, and tertiary auditory cortex. These structures are formed concentrically around one another, with the primary cortex in the middle and the tertiary cortex on the outside.

  7. Olfactory system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olfactory_system

    The uncus houses the olfactory cortex which includes the piriform cortex (posterior orbitofrontal cortex), amygdala, olfactory tubercle, and parahippocampal gyrus. The olfactory tubercle connects to numerous areas of the amygdala, thalamus, hypothalamus, hippocampus, brain stem, retina, auditory cortex, and olfactory system. In total it has 27 ...

  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 areas 41 and 42 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brodmann_areas_41_and_42

    Brodmann areas 41 and 42 are parts of the primary auditory cortex.. Brodmann area 41 is also known as the anterior transverse temporal area 41 (H). It is a cytoarchitectonic division of the cerebral cortex occupying the anterior transverse temporal gyrus (H) in the bank of the lateral sulcus on the dorsal surface of the temporal lobe.
