Brodmann area 13

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brodmann area 13 is a subdivision of the cerebral cortex as

defined on the guenon monkey and on the basis of Brodmann area 13
cytoarchitecture.[1] Brodmann area 13 is found in humans;
however, it seems to act as a bridge between the lateral and
medial layers of the brain. Thus it is sometimes
misidentified as not being a Brodmann area.

Location
Located in the anterior part of the insular cortex, Brodmann area 13 shares with other parts of the insular cortex
a wide molecular layer (I) and very wide multiform layer (VI).[1]

Layers
The external granular layer (II) is relatively dense. The external lamina pyramidalis externa (III) has a central
stripe of less cellular density that separates two sublayers, IIIa and IIIb. The internal granular layer (IV) is
sufficiently wide and dense to separate clearly sublayer IIIb from layer V. The boundary between layers V and
VI is defined by larger ganglion cells, more pyramidal in shape, in layer V giving way to smaller, more spindle-
shaped cells that become denser and more homogeneous deeper in layer VI. Often the spindle cells are arrayed
horizontally as in the claustrum (VICl), which Brodmann considered a likely extension of layer VI beyond the
extreme capsule (VICe) (Brodmann-1905).
