		Brodmann's a.’s areas of the cerebral cortex distinguished by hypothesized differences in the arrangement of their six cellular layers and identified by numbers; although the histologic basis is in dispute, the topographic numbering is widely used as a descriptor for mapping cortical locations that control different functions of the nervous system and the body.
		an area in the rhinencephalon, pear-shaped in some species but not in humans; it includes the lateral olfactory process or gyrus, the limen insulae, the uncus, and part of the parahippocampal gyrus; subdivided into the prepiriform area, the periamygdaloid area, and the entorhinal area.

		Wernicke's area, Wernicke's second motor speech area, originally a term denoting a speech center thought to be confined to the posterior part of the superior temporal gyrus adjacent to the transverse temporal gyri; the term now includes a wider zone that encompasses the supramarginal and angular gyri as well; called also Wernicke's field or zone.

		Tissues innervated by the same thoracic segment exhibited increased sensitivity (dermatomic area hypersensitivity).
		The cause of the observed dermatomic hypersensitivity of diverse tissues and altered reflex responses in many women with chronic pelvic pain is uncertain.
		Years after passage of a kidney stone, residual alteration in the electrical response properties of the overlying ipsilateral subcutaneous tissue and muscle was commonly observed.

		The most obvious difference between these cells is in the way the cells increase their surface area to accommodate large numbers of light sensors.
		It is the high contrast between fl and white stripes that produces this effect, and not the expanding area on the screen showing the stripes.
		The area of the promontory or basilar turn of the cochlea is stimulated by frequencies in the range of 3000 to 5000 Hz; it appears to be the most vulnerable to acoustic trauma, probably from the shearing force in the fluid so near the stapes footplate and the beginning curve in the scala.

	Patent 4787397
		The dermatomes are controlled by nerves associated with specific cervical openings in the cervical spine.
		The dermatome distribution provides a means for sensing a particular nerve and this will indicate the portion of the cervical spine where the lesions are and will assist the clinician in caring for the injury.
		The sensitivity of the patient in sensing the various temperatures of the probes is recorded and also the areas of the patient's hands and forearm is recorded in the diagnosis.

	Patent 6447802
		Similarly, nociceptive input from termini lying in a given area of skin can often be "felt" or experienced in a similar locus on the contralateral side of the animal, particularly within the same dermatome.
		Due to the dermatomal summation within the spinal column, this attenuation of dermal nociceptive input is realized as an overall reduction in afferent input at the level of a given dermatome.
		Generally speaking, for interfering with dermatomic summation of signals, the area of skin within a given dermatome to which the composition is applied corresponds to the degree to which summation within the spinal column is affected.
