  • Area 7 - Somatosensory Association Cortex
  • Area 8 - Includes Frontal eye fields
  • Area 9 - Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex
  • Area 10 - Anterior prefrontal cortex (most rostral part of superior and middle frontal gyri)
  • Area 11 - Orbitofrontal area (orbital and rectus gyri, plus part of the rostral part of the superior frontal gyrus)
  • Area 12 - Orbitofrontal area (used to be part of BA11, refers to the area between the superior frontal gyrus and the inferior rostral sulcus)
  • Area 13 and Area 14 - Insular cortex

  • Area 39 - Angular gyrus, also considered by some to be part of Wernicke's area
  • Area 40 - Supramarginal gyrus considered by some to be part of Wernicke's area
  • Areas 41 & 42 - Primary & Auditory Association Cortex
  • Area 43 - Subcentral area (between insula and post/precentral gyrus)

  • Area 45 - Pars triangularis Broca's area
  • Area 46 - Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex
  • Area 47 - Inferior prefrontal gyrus
  • Area 48 - Retrosubicular area (a small part of the medial surface of the temporal lobe)
  • Area 49 - Parasubicular area in a rodent
  • Area 52 - Parainsular area (at the junction of the temporal lobe & the insula)
