Summary
| Description |
English: The Insula. Representation of the insula and its cytoarchitectural similarities with the anterior cingulate cortex(ACC) and the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex(VLPFC). Illustrated above are the main connectivities involved in dynamic updates between the following: 1)the posterior insula and the sensory motor(SM)cortex; and 2)the anterior insula and both the central nucleus of the amygdala(CeA) and the ventro-medial nucleus(VMN)of the thalamus. The mid-insula is also connected to the thalamus and is intermediary in translating the somatosensory stimuli to the anterior region where they are perceived and further evaluated in conjunction with the ACC and the medial prefrontal cortex(MPFC). |
