This page covers biological details of component Parainsular Area.
Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

  * *Top-down path to region*: Cerebral Cortex -> Temporal Lobe (NC.LOBE.TEMP) -> [BrainCenterNC_STG Superior Temporal Gyrus] (NC.STG) -> [BrainRegionNPE_NC_STG_PAI Parainsular Area] (NPE.NC.STG.PAI) (see [OverallMindMaps Mind Maps])
  * *Type*: cortex
  * *Quality*: L0
  * *Brain area*: [BrainAreaNPE Neocortical Brain - Unimodal Execution Area] (NPE)
  * *Area circuit*: Execution by Auditory Inputs (AES)
  * *Brodmann ID*: 52
  * *Role*: cortex.generic
  * *Function*: Medial auditory stream
  * *Comments*: between insula and 41, supplementary auditory cortex, monkey only; superior bank of superior temporal gyrus, posterior margin of insula
  * *Notes to function*: 
   * Major projects to PFC multi-modal associations, auditory to insula
