Brodmann Areas in the Human Brain with an Emphasis on Vision and Language
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.

 Brodmann area 7 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brodmann area 7 is part of the parietal cortex in the human brain.
Situated posterior to the primary somatosensory cortex (Brodmann areas 1, 2 and 3), and superior to visual cortices (Brodmann areas 17, 18 and 19), this region is believed to play in visuo-motor coordination (e.g., in reaching to grasp an object).
Distinctive features (Brodmann-1905): in area 7 compared to area 5 of Brodmann-1909, large ganglion cells are absent from the internal pyramidal layer (V); the pyramidal cells of the external pyramidal layer (III) sublayer 3b are, on average, larger; the multiform layer (VI) is denser and narrower and more sharply bounded by subcortical white matter.

 Brodmann
Cytoarchitecturally bounded rostrally by the preparietal area 5 and the caudal postcentral area 2; caudally by the peristriate area 19; and medially by the dorsal posterior cingulate area 31.
Cytoarchitecturally bounded dorsocaudally by the intermediate frontal area 8, caudally by the agranular frontal area 6, and ventrally by the frontopolar area 10, the middle frontal area 46 and the opercular area 44.
Cytoarchitecturally bounded on the rostral and lateral aspects of the hemisphere by the frontopolar area 10, the orbital area 47, and the triangular area 45; on the medial surface it is bounded dorsally by the area 12 and caudally by the subgenual area 25.

 Brodmann area 43 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the human this area is known as subcentral area 43 refers to a subdivision of the cytoarchitecturally defined postcentral region of cerebral cortex.
Cytoarchitecturally it is bounded rostrally by the agranular frontal area 6 and caudally, for the most part, by the caudal postcentral area 2 and the supramarginal area 40 (H) (Brodmann-1909).
The term Brodmann area 43 refers to a subdivision of the cerebral cortex of the guenon defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture.

 Brodmann area 5 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brodmann area 5 is part of the parietal cortex in the human brain.
It is situated immediately posterior to the primary somatosensory areas (Brodmann areas 1, 2 and 3), and anterior to Brodmann area 7.
In guenon the term Brodmann area 5 refers to a subdivision of the parietal lobe defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture.

A Brodmann area is a region in the brain's cortex that is defined by its histologic characteristics.
Brodmann area 19 is shown in yellow in this image which also shows ares 17 (red) and 18 (orange) Brodmann area 19, or BA19, is part of the occipital lobe cortex in the human brain.
Brodmann area 23 (BA23) is a region in the brain corresponding to some portion of the posterior cingulate 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.

 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".

 Brodmann x Function
Brodmann mapped the cortex according to types of neurons and their density in different cortical layers.
Further suppose that the exclusivity assumption is violated, and that the functions are implemented in overlapping brain regions: A depends on areas 1 and 2; B depends on areas 1 and 3; C depends on areas 2 and 3.
Conversely, the typical Brodmann area is differentially engaged in 40% of behavioral (cognitive, perceptual, emotive) domains.
