Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy. [ edit on Wikidata] 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.
Cortical areas: Limbic lobe. Orbitofrontal cortex: a region in the frontal lobe involved in the process of decision-making. Piriform cortex: part of the olfactory system. Entorhinal cortex: related to memory and associative components. Hippocampus and associated structures: play a central role in the consolidation of new memories.

The brain is the central organ of the human nervous system, and with the spinal cord makes up the central nervous system. The brain consists of the cerebrum, the brainstem and the cerebellum. It controls most of the activities of the body, processing, integrating, and coordinating the information it receives from the sense organs, and making ...
Five lobes visible. The lobes of the brain are the major identifiable zones of the human cerebral cortex, and they comprise the surface of each hemisphere of the cerebrum. The two hemispheres are roughly symmetrical in structure, and are connected by the corpus callosum. They traditionally have been divided into four lobes, but are today ...
The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain. Depending upon the position of the animal, it lies either in front or on top of the brainstem. In humans, the cerebrum is the largest and best-developed of the five major divisions of the brain. The cerebrum is made up of the two cerebral hemispheres and their cerebral cortices (the outer layers of ...
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 ...
Frontal lobe (red) of left cerebral hemisphere. The frontal lobe is the largest lobe of the brain and makes up about a third of the surface area of each hemisphere. [ 3] On the lateral surface of each hemisphere, the central sulcus separates the frontal lobe from the parietal lobe. The lateral sulcus separates the frontal lobe from the temporal ...
