Lateral Sulcus Reference 


The insular cortex is situated inside of the Sylvian fissure.  Research has implied that the insular cortex is linked to the perception of pain, basic emotions (such as joy, happiness, anger, and disgust), addiction and other conscious desires, interoceptive awareness, sense of self, and reading emotions and social cues.


Insular Cortex

The lateral sulcus is a prominent sulcus that separates the frontal and parietal lobe from the temporal lobe.

The cerebral cortex is the uneven outer surface of the brain, characterized by a distinctive pattern of raised bumps or folds (gyri) and depressions or grooves (sulci). It is associated with higher-level cognitive processes, including consciousness, thought, emotion, reasoning, language, and memory.

Cerebral Cortex

The cerebral cortex is divided into four primary lobes: the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, and occipital lobe.

Lobes in the Cerebral Cortex

Most recently evolved part of the mammalian brain. It is responsible for problem-solving, self-control, self-awareness, conscious thought, and language. Robin Dunbar found a strong correlation between a species group size and the size of their neocortex.

Cingulate Cortex

The lateral sulcus ( lateral fissure or Sylvian fissure) 

Sulci (singular: sulcus) are the distinctive grooves or depressions found on the uneven exterior surface of the cerebral cortex, situated between the raised folds or bumps.

Sulci

An architect is designing a new building. This complex task requires them to visualize the structure in three dimensions, solve spatial problems, formulate a creative vision, and communicate their ideas through language and drawings. Which part of the brain, known as the center for higher-level cognitive processes, is most predominantly engaged during these activities?

Gyri (singular: gyrus) are the distinctive folds, bumps, or ridges that characterize the highly uneven surface of the cerebral cortex.
