Brain Areas

Approach of defining areas:

• make areas functionally named and identified
• do not create thalamus area to avoid mixing unrelated paths, assign thalamus nuclei to other areas
• do not create limbic area to avoid mixing unrelated functions, assign limbic components to other areas
• take into account all subcortical nuclei and ganglia
• all areas mapped by Brodmann placed in cortical category
• consider only single left hemisphere
• consider area as set of groups of regions and links which serve similar function, with area corresponging to providing this function in several circuits (groups)
