 Neurological Exam: Cerebrum: Anatomy
Brodmann’s areas 3, 2,1 (on the postcentral gyrus) is the primary somatosensory cortex; area 17 (cuneus and lingual gyri) receives visual input; area 41 (transverse temporal gyrus) is for auditory sense.
Areas 5 and 7 are secondary to somatosensory areas 3,2,1; areas 18 and 19 are secondary to visual area 17; areas 42 and 22 are secondary to auditory area 41; area 28 is secondary to olfactory area 34.
Near areas 39 and 40, at the posterior margin of area 22, is Wernicke’s speech area; it is connected with Broca’s motor speech area by long associational fibers of the white matter, injury to Wernicke’s area results in receptive aphasia.

 Brodmann area 18 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brodmann area 18 is a subdivision of the cerebral cortex of the guenon defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture.
It is topographically and cytoarchitecturally homologous to parastriate area 18 of the human (Brodmann-1909).
Like area 17 of Brodmann-1905, area 18 is relatively thin; the three deep layers are thin relative to the three outer layers; distinct boundaries between layers; abundance of granule cells; narrow layer VI; and sharp boundary between cortex and subcortical white matter.

 THE BRAIN FROM TOP TO BOTTOM
Broca’s area is generally defined as comprising Brodmann areas 44 and 45, which lie anterior to the premotor cortex in the inferior posterior portion of the frontal lobe.
Wernicke’s area, of which the temporal planum is a key anatomical component, is located on the superior temporal gyrus, in the superior portion of Brodmann area 22.
This lobule is composed mainly of two distinct regions: caudally, the angular gyrus (area 39), which itself is bounded by the visual occipital areas (areas 17, 18, and 19), and dorsally, the supramarginal gyrus (area 40) which arches over the end of the lateral sulcus, adjacent to the inferior portion of the somatosensory cortex.

 The Human Brain
Brodmann assigned numbers to various brain regions by analyzing each area's cellular structure starting from the central sulcus [the boundary between the frontal and parietal lobes].
As you may notice, many of the areas that are involved in the same general cognitive functions are numbered sequentially (or almost).
Areas that perform the same tasks use essentially the same types of cells.

 Brodmann area
A Brodmann area is a region in the brain cortex defined by its histologic characteristics.
Brodmann areas were originally defined by Korbinian Brodmann and referred to by numbers from 1 to 52.
Some of the original areas have been subdivided further and referred to, e.g., as "23a" and "23b".

The temporo-parieto-occipital area is phylogenetically one of the newest areas of the human cortex and constitutes the "zone of overlap" between.
Destruction of the area produced a number of signs that Luria judged could be traced to a loss of "simultaneous schemata", i.e., to loss of the memory for, or ability to recognize, patterns in a group of auditory, visual, and/or somesthetic stimuli occurring simultaneously.

The striate cortex, also known as Brodmann's area 17 is the primary visual cortex which "sees the image." The brain interprets the right visual field via the left cortex and the left visual field via the right cortex.
Area 18 allows the recognition of the objects and tracts from this area proceed to area 19 as well as to midbrain regions which incorporate eye movements.
Brodmann's areas 42 and 22 are association cortex regions receiving direct input from area 41, which provide the recognition of verbal information (left hemisphere) and music recognition (right hemisphere).

 Maintenance
A Brodmann piano consists of thousands of different moving parts, all of which have been expertly set up, regulated and tuned by the factory to produce the final instrument you purchased.
The ideal environment can be set at between 50% to 55% relative humidity and about 18 -20 degrees Celsius for the whole room in which the piano is located, not just the local area around the piano.
It is very important to stand your Brodmann in the correct place within your room, not only for the best results for sound production, but also to ensure that no other external factors detrimentally affect the piano in any way.

 CRL Newsletter Article 4-4
New data on the large number of modality-specific areas in the post-central cortex of several non-human primates, and recent anatomical and functional studies of the human brain suggest that very little of the cortex consists of poly-modal 'association' areas.
The main difference between the maps is the reduced size of the areas between V2 and MT in owl mon- keys, the shape of V3 (owl monkey DM, its probably homolo- gue, is much less elongated than the macaque area), and the somewhat larger size of several inferotemporal areas.
All areas shown are visual except for area PM (owl monkey) and area STP (macaque), which border on somatosensory and auditory cortices (not shown).

On the left side of the brain is an area called Brodmann’s area 22, that help generate and help the understanding of individual words, and on the right side of the brain it helps tell the difference between melody, pitch, and sound intensity.
Researchers took six men and one woman who had died within 18-24 hours, and took two samples from the Brodmann’s area 22 of their brains to examine, one from the right side and one from the left side.
He is proof to me that this study is correct because the study said the right side of the brain in the Brodmann’s area 22 helps discriminate between melody, pitch, and sound intensity.

This means that the ganglion cell is excited by light of a particular wavelength, which strikes the middle of the area that the cell receives input from, but is inhibited by the same wavelength when it falls in the surrounding area.
From V2 and V4 (another border area) connections end in the inferotemporal cortex, which as the name states, is an area in the lower part of the temporal cortex.
The large area of the retina covered by each of these neurons should be viewed in context, in that the columns here are not ordered according to position on the retina, in contrast to V1, V2 or V5 for instance.

 Multiple Realizability Revisited
Throughout, Brodmann used the same numbering systems to identify what he took to be homologous areas in the different species, arguing that there is similarity in the overall patterns of parcellation, constancy in broader regions across species, and persistence of individual areas.
Topographical organization, which refers to the orderly projection of the visual field over each area, was useful in distinguishing about half of the areas, while common connectivity patterns between cells in one area and those in another, were useful for identifying most all of the areas.
Connectivity is important insofar as it provides the vehicle for information to be moved from one processing area to another, and topography preserves the orderly arrangement of the visual scene, as projected onto the retina, so as to allow spatial relations in the processing area to stand in for spatial relations in the visual scene.

 Gall's Legacy Revisited
Moreover, whereas the temporal pathway is primarily sensitive to foveal areas, the parietal pathway is equally sensitive to foveal and peripheral areas.
The lateral occipital area activated during spatial visual processing overlapped with the areas activated during face matching but tended to be closer to the occipitoparietal border and did not include the more anterior and superior occipitotemporal region (1623).
Both the blob and the interblob areas (the latter are primarily driven by P cells in LGN) of V1 project to distinct parts of V4 and the posterior inferior temporal cortex, although V4 also receives input from the cells in V3, part of the M stream.

The difference is attributed to structures in the left hemisphere of the brain, specifically two areas called the Broca’s area and the Wernicke’s area located in the frontal and temporal lobes respectively.
They found that the planum temporale, a key site found within the Wernicke’s area, was larger in the left hemisphere for 17 out of the 18 brains examined, demonstrating an asymmetry of the ape brain.
They found that Brodmann’s area 44, a part of the Broca’s region, was larger in the left hemisphere of the ape brains, once again suggesting the asymmetry of the ape brain.

 PET scan shows homologs of Broca's and Wernicke's area in the macaque are activated by species-specific calls   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Researchers have found that parts of the macaque brain that are homologs to Broca's area (Brodmann's area 44 and 45) and Wernicke's area (Brodmann's area 22), or more specifically the perisylvian areas, are activated when the monkeys were presented recordings of other macaque monkeys.
Macaque coo's and screams activated much higher levels of organization and region specific areas of the perisylvian areas, more specifically the tempoparietal area of the superior temporal gyrus, than the non-biological sounds which activated a much broader region of the auditory cortex.
The similarity in brain structure between humans and the macaque and their distance on the evolutionary tree suggest that the neural development of the regions responsible for language may have exapted 25-30 million years ago with the last common ancester between the two species.
