The insular cortex is divided by the central sulcus of the insula, into two parts: the anterior insula and the posterior insula in which more than a dozen field areas have been identified. The cortical area overlying the insula toward the lateral surface of the brain is the operculum (meaning lid). The opercula are formed from parts of the ...
The shelf surrounding an island is known as an "insular shelf." The continental margin, between the continental shelf and the abyssal plain, comprises a steep continental slope, surrounded by the flatter continental rise, in which sediment from the continent above cascades down the slope and accumulates as a pile of sediment at the base of the ...
Hans Berger, the inventor of the electroencephalogram, was the first to propose the idea that the brain is constantly busy.In a series of papers published in 1929, he showed that the electrical oscillations detected by his device do not cease even when the subject is at rest.
The salience network is theorized to mediate switching between the default mode network and central executive network. [1] [2]The salience network (SN), also known anatomically as the midcingulo-insular network (M-CIN) or ventral attention network, is a large scale network of the human brain that is primarily composed of the anterior insula (AI) and dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC).
For example, category specificity is greatest close to the piriform and anterior insular olfactory cortex. Here, odor words such as “cinnamon” lead to greater activation than control words. In the gustatory cortex in the anterior insula and frontal operculum, taste words such as “sugar” lead to a stronger activation.
And, in Psychology Today, philosophy professor David Kyle Johnson called Elf on the Shelf a "dangerous parental crutch," which allows parents to disengage from the responsibility of healthy ...
Office of Insular Affairs, a unit of the U.S. Department of the Interior that oversees federal administration of several insular areas (and the successor to the Bureau of Insular Affairs). Insular Government of the Philippine Islands, the U.S. territorial government that was established in 1901 and was dissolved in 1935; Insular Region, Venezuela
The temporoparietal junction (TPJ) is an area of the brain where the temporal and parietal lobes meet, at the posterior end of the lateral sulcus (Sylvian fissure). The TPJ incorporates information from the thalamus and the limbic system as well as from the visual, auditory, and somatosensory systems.
