“…The total cortical surface area of 1570 cm 2 for both hemispheres is similar to the estimate of Jouandet et al (1989). It is ϳ20% lower than the mean reported by Tramo et al (1995), but the real difference is probably smaller, because our value is likely to be a slight underestimate (see Materials and Methods).…”

We have analyzed the geometry, geography, and functional organization of human cerebral cortex using surface reconstructions and cortical flat maps of the left and right hemispheres generated from a digital atlas (the Visible Man). The total surface area of the reconstructed Visible Man neocortex is 1570 cm 2 (both hemispheres), ϳ70% of which is buried in sulci. By linking the Visible Man cerebrum to the Talairach stereotaxic coordinate space, the locations of activation foci reported in neuroimaging studies can be readily visualized in relation to the cortical surface. The associated spatial uncertainty was empirically shown to have a radius in three dimensions of ϳ10 mm. Application of this approach to studies of visual cortex reveals the overall patterns of activation associated with different aspects of visual function and the relationship of these patterns to topographically organized visual areas. Our analysis supports a distinction between an anterior region in ventral occipitotemporal cortex that is selectively involved in form processing and a more posterior region (in or near areas VP and V4v) involved in both form and color processing. Foci associated with motion processing are mainly concentrated in a region along the occipito-temporal junction, the ventral portion of which overlaps with foci also implicated in form processing. Comparisons between flat maps of human and macaque monkey cerebral cortex indicate significant differences as well as many similarities in the relative sizes and positions of cortical regions known or suspected to be homologous in the two species.

Musiek FE, Lee WW. Neuroanatomical correlates to central deafness. Scand Audiol 1998;27 Suppl 49:18-25. Our research experience with five centrally deaf patients showed that damage to various anatomical sites could result in central deafness. This finding was contrary to the commonly held notion that both Heschl's gyri must be severely damaged to yield central deafness. To discover whether lesions in various brain areas could cause central deafness, we reviewed 33 cases of central deafness reported in the literature which had sufficient radiological data to determine the anatomical regions involved. Both Heschl's gyri were involved in the majority of these cases, but there were definite exceptions. In these exceptional cases of central deafness, subcortical areas were involved (usually the internal capsule), as was the insula. Overall findings are discussed and recommendations are offered for the future study of centrally deaf patients.

“…Willerman and Schultz (1996) suggested that cortical area might be a good index based on the studies of Jouandet et al (1989) and Tramo et al (1995). Eysenck (1982) provided an excellent earlier review.…”
