area Iai
Acronym: Iai
The term area Iai refers to one of four subdivisions of the agranular orbitofrontal cortex. Located at the posterior border of the orbital gyri of the human cerebral cortex, it is defined by internal structure on the basis of multiple stains. It is bounded laterally by area Ial, medially by area 47/12s, rostrally by area 47/12l, and caudally by the agranular sector of the insula. The other three subdivisions of the agranular orbitofrontal cortex are area Iam, area Iapm, and area Ial. For the relations of this segmentation and terminology to others, see Ongur-2003.
     Its equivalent in the macaque is area Iai (macaque) ( Ongur-2003 ). For equivalent areas in the rat and mouse, see agranular insular cortex.
