area Ial (Ial)

The term area Ial refers to one of four subdivisions of the agranular orbitofrontal cortex. Defined on the basis of multiple stains, it is located on the lateral part of the posterior orbital gyrus. Occupying the dorsal wall of the anterior horizontal limb of the lateral fissure, it is bounded medially by area Iai, 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 Iai. For the relations of this segmentation and terminology to others, see Ongur-2003. Its equivalent in the macaque is area Ial (macaque) ( Carmichael-1994 ). For equivalent areas in the rat and mouse, see agranular insular cortex.

Models Where It Appears
orbitomedial prefrontal cortex hierarchy

refers to the organization of substructures of the orbitomedial prefrontal cortex of the human as described in Ongur-2003. The organization is the same in the macaque, except for a few minor differences in internal structure and names based on topology ( Carmichael-1994 ).

Topographic Model of Human Cerebral Cortex

The topographic model of human cerebral cortex is a closed partitive hierarchical model of cerebral cortical structure in the human. The cerebral cortex is segmented on the basis of internal structure, connectivity, and/or functions of cortical areas. It is designed to update the comprehensive early twentieth century parcellations of Brodmann and of von Economo and Koskinas and their successors. A work in progress, it integrates the most authoritative, comprehensive, and recent parcellations and nomenclatures from peer-reviewed publications and neuroanatomical texts. For an equivalent model in the rodent, Search BrainInfo for ' Functional CNS Model - Rat '. This segmentation of the human cerebral cortex, based on a combination of internal structure, connectivity, and function, complements the classical segmentation of the cerebral cortex into lobes, lobules, and gyri based on sulcal patterns: For the classical segmentation, see ' cerebral cortex ' and click 'Locus in Brain Hierarchy'.
