The clinical correlations between various psychiatric and neurological disorders and specific Brodmann areas provide valuable insights into the underlying neural mechanisms of these conditions. Brodmann areas, defined by their distinct cytoarchitectonic characteristics, have been extensively studied in relation to numerous mental health and neurological disorders. Please read our Brodmann Area Involvement in Clinical Disorders post for in-depth coverage of this topic.
Brodmann areas are a historically important division of the cerebral cortex into distinct regions based on their cytoarchitecture or neuronal arrangement and connections. The concept of Brodmann areas was introduced by the German neurologist Korbinian Brodmann in the early 20th century (Brodmann, 1909). Brodmann's work has significantly impacted the understanding of the functional organization of the cortex and remains influential in contemporary neuroscience research.
Brodmann's classification was based on his observations of differences in the cellular organization of the cortex across various mammalian species, including humans. He identified 43 numbered areas in the human brain by examining the cellular organization, cell types, and layer thickness (Zilles & Amunts, 2010). Although some refinements have been made since Brodmann's initial classification, many identified areas retain their original numbering.
Researchers have mapped Brodmann Areas to EEG electrode sites in the 10-20 system (Vieito, da Rocha, & Rocha, 2015).
The Importance of Brodmann Areas
The identification of Brodmann areas has facilitated the investigation of functional specialization within the cortex. Most cortical functions involve the networked activity of multiple Brodmann areas. Several Brodmann areas are now associated with specific functions, such as primary sensory and motor areas, as well as higher cognitive functions like language processing and decision-making (Glasser et al., 2016). For instance, Brodmann area 4 corresponds to the primary motor cortex, area 17 to the primary visual cortex, and areas 44 and 45 to Broca's area, which is crucial for speech production.
While Brodmann areas provide a valuable framework for understanding cortical organization, they do not capture the full complexity of the brain's functional architecture. Advances in neuroimaging techniques have identified additional areas and functional networks, highlighting the intricate organization of the cortex beyond Brodmann's classification (Glasser et al., 2016). The human brain's cortical architecture is more heterogeneous than Brodmann's map suggests, and new approaches like 3D quantitative architectonics and big data analysis can redefine cortical areas (Amunts & Zilles, 2015). There are significant individual and interhemispheric localization differences. For example, Cytoarchitectonic mapping of Brodmann areas 17 and 18 has revealed significant interindividual and interhemispheric variability in their size, shape, and location, challenging the traditional use of the Talairach atlas for precise localization (Amunts et al., 2000).
Researchers have revised the Brodmann maps and correlated areas with their functions. The Brodmann maps below were contributed by Mark Dow, Research Assistant at the Brain Development Lab at the University of Oregon, to Wikimedia Commons.
Brodmann Area Review
Areas 3, 1, and 2: Primary Somatosensory Cortex (S1)
The primary somatosensory cortex (S1) is a critical region for processing somatosensory information in the brain. It is involved in processing touch, proprioception, and temperature. These four cortical areas contain separate somatotopic maps (Purves, 2018). Graphic © Big8/Shutterstock.com.
Brodmann areas
The S1 is located in the postcentral gyrus, mainly in Brodmann areas 3, 1, and 2.
