Morphometry of human insular cortex and insular volume reduction in Williams syndrome.
Functional imaging in humans and anatomical data in monkeys have implicated the insula as a multimodal sensory integrative brain region. The topography of insular connections is organized by its cytoarchitectonic regions. Previous attempts to measure the insula have utilized either indirect or automated methods. This study was designed to develop a reliable method for obtaining volumetric magne...
متن کاملInsular Cortex and Insular Epilepsy
Insular cortex epilepsy is an under-recognized, localization-related syndrome. The presence of this condition could account for the surgery treatment failure seen in a portion of patients with temporal epilepsy, as well as a portion of those with frontal and parietal lobe epilepsy. Most cases of intractable temporal epilepsy are associated with insular cortex involvement. In this review, we wil...

متن کاملInsular Volume Reduction in Patients with Social Anxiety Disorder
Despite the fact that social anxiety disorder (SAD) is highly prevalent, there have been only a few structural imaging studies. Moreover, most of them reported about a volume reduction in amygdale, which plays a key role in the neural function of SAD. Insula is another region of interest. Its hyperactivity in regard to processing negative emotional information or interoceptive awareness has bee...
متن کاملVestibular and Visual Responses in Human Posterior Insular 13 Cortex
36 The central hub of the cortical vestibular network in humans is likely localized in the region 37 of posterior lateral sulcus. An area characterized by responsiveness to visual motion has 38 previously been described at a similar location and named posterior insular cortex (PIC). 39 Currently it is not known whether PIC processes vestibular information as well. We localized 40 PIC using visu...
