triangular area of Wernicke

The term triangular area of Wernicke refers to an internal structure of the brain that appears triangular in coronal sections. Located lateral to the pulvinar and dorsolateral to the lateral geniculate body in the internal capsule ( Carpenter-1991 ), it is composed of fibers that contribute to the geniculocalcarine radiation ( Riley-1943 ).

Also known as: triangular area (Wernicke), Area triangularis (Wernicke), field of Wernicke, zone of Wernicke, Zona lateralis, Wernicke's zone, triangular area of Wernicke
