retroinsular area

The term retroinsular area refers to a composite structure of cerebral cortex defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture in the human ( Kurth-2010a ) and the macaque ( Pandya-1973 ). Located at the caudal extreme of the insula, it is composed of two subdivisions: area reIpt of Pandya, which is separated from the insula by the superior limiting sulcus, and area reIt of Pandya, which is separated from it by the inferior limiting sulcus.

Also known as: retroinsular area, retroinsular cortex
