Cover and FIGURE 1.(Cover) The approximate location and extent of the insula is illustrated on sagittal, coronal, and axial MRI scans. The insula is divided by the central sulcus into anterior (pink) and posterior (green) lobes.(Left) The insula’s location between the opercula and the claustrum is illustrated on an axial MRI.(Center) A simplified sagittal drawing of the insula depicts the major gyri.(Right) One way to identify possible functional subdivisions within an area is to create maps of the cellular structure (cytoarchitecture). A recent study in humans reported a progression in cellular structure from the dorsal-posterior granular region (G and g) to the ventral-anterior agranular region (a2–a1) with a transition zone of dysgranular cortex (d3–d1). The locations and extents of the seven cytoarchitectonic subdivisions identified are approximated on a simplified sagittal drawing. 1 The locations containing the majority of von Economo neurons (VENs) are indicated (region enclosed by white line).
