  Brodmann area 20 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cytoarchitecturally it is bounded medially by the ectorhinal area 36 (H), laterally by the middle temporal area 21, rostrally by the temporopolar area 38 (H) and caudally by the occipitotemporal area 37 (H) (Brodmann-1909).
Brodmann area 20 is a subdivision of the cerebral cortex of the guenon defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture.
It is cytoarchitecturally homologous to the inferior temporal area 20 of the human (Brodmann-1909).

 Brodmann area - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Brodmann area is a region in the brain cortex defined in many different species based on its cytoarchitecture.
Brodmann areas were originally defined by Korbinian Brodmann and referred to by numbers from 1 to 52.

 BASIC CEREBRAL CORTEX FUNCTION OTHER THAN VISION
Brodmann area 42 is the auditory association cortex which probably includes among its functions the discrimination of sequences of sound patterns.
The posterior and lower portion of area 6 is known as the premotor cortex (PMC), whereas the anterior and upper portion of area 6 is known as the supplementary motor area (SMA).
Since virtually all sensory areas are posterior to the central sulcus, areas not devoted to primary sensation in the temporal, parietal and occipital lobes are regarded as "sensory association cortex".

 Sensory Motor Association
Visual areas 17, 18, and 19, are in the occipital lobe, somatic sensory areas 3, 1, and 2 are in the parietal lobe, and auditory areas 41 and 42 are in the temporal lobe.
On the inferior surface of the parietal lobe (the operculum) and buried in the insula is gustatory area 43, devoted to the sense of taste.
The major motor control areas - primary motor cortex area 4, the supplementary motor area, and the premotor area - lie in the frontal lobe, anterior to the central sulcus.

 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.

 ScienceWeek
The language functions are primarily associated with 3 of the cytoarchitectonic areas defined by Brodmann: 1) Brodmann area 22, at the junction of the parietal and temporal lobes (also known as Wernicke's area); 2) Brodmann areas 44 and 45, in the ventral and posterior region of the frontal lobe (also known as Broca's area).
Several of these areas are activated only unilaterally in the dominant hemisphere, and one of the regions exhibiting robust unilateral activation during processing of language-related signals is located in the posterior part of the first temporal *gyrus and the posterior temporal plane.
Activated brain areas utilize more oxygen, which transiently decreases the levels of oxyhemoglobin and increases the levels of deoxyhemoglobin, and within seconds the brain microvasculature responds to the local change by increasing the flow of oxygen-rich blood into the active area.

 Neurons Different in Left, Right Brain Structure   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
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.

 Hand Preference in Chimps Linked to Genetics, Birth Order   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Focusing on areas where cells resembling those of Broca’s area in human brains previously have been identified, the scientists found that a particular region of Broca’s area, called Brodmann’s area 44, is larger in the left hemisphere of the ape brain, just as it is in the brains of most humans.
Broca’s area is named for the French neurologist, Paul Broca, who in 1861, identified the first clinical evidence of a speech center in the human brain.
Broca’s area is located in the inferior portion of the frontal lobes on each side of the brain and consists of two morphological components, Brodmann’s areas 44 and 45.

 Pre-Supplementary Motor Area Research -- Neurotransmitter.net
Linkage between the prefrontal cortex and the primary motor cortex is mediated by nonprimary motor-related areas of the frontal lobe.
For all motor cortical areas, there was a general trend of the labeled neurons to occupy the dorsal and intermediate parts of the claustrum along the dorsoventral axis.
Two motor areas are known to exist in the medial frontal lobe of the cerebral cortex of primates, the supplementary motor area (SMA) and the presupplementary motor area (pre-SMA).

 Amazon.com: Brodmann's: Localisation in the Cerebral Cortex: Books: K. Brodmann,L.J. Garey   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Even today it forms the basis for so-called "localisation" of function in the cerebral cortex, and Brodmann's "areas" are still used to designate functional regions in the cortex, the part of the brain that brings the world that surrounds us into consciousness.
Indeed, Brodmann's famous "maps" of the cerebral cortex of humans, monkeys and other mammals must be among the most commonly reproduced figures in neurobiological publishing.
As Laurence Garey, too, used Brodmann’s findings and maps in his neurobiological work, and had the good fortune to have access to a copy of the book, he decided to read the complete text and soon discovered that this was much more than just a report of laboratory findings of a turn-of-the-twentieth-century neurologist.

 The neurology of syntax: Language use without Broca's area
One, subserving the perception of spoken language, occupies the posterior-superior temporal area (the posterior portion of area 22) and Heschl's gyrus (areas 41 and 42); Wernicke's area comprises the posterior part of area 22 and the parietotemporal junction.
The third area situated at the posterior end of the inferior frontal convolution is referred to as Broca's area or Brodmann's area 44 and is concerned with the motor aspects of speech.
The question, obviously, is whether or not this area supports a device dedicated to syntactic analysis of transformationally moved constituents, and if so, what this device is. One possibility is that the comprehension deficit follows from a general disruption to "working memory", not from a language mechanism.

Treatment was effective for 78% of individuals with depression who had low sustained reactivity in the subgenual cingulate cortex (Brodmann's area 25) after they read and rated negative words.
However, only 20% of participants who had no fMRI evidence of decreased activity in the same region on the negative-word rating task, had remission of depressive symptoms after completing CBT.
From the summary, it sounds as though the authors are concluding that CBT will be ineffective for the group that does not show evidence of decreased activity in Area 25.
