Brain Regions beginning with I
- inferior frontal gyrus search for term
-
a gyrus in the frontal lobe that is active in many different language tasks and plays a role in integrating brain regions.
- inferior occipital gyrus search for term
-
a gyrus in the occipital lobe that appears to be particularly sensitive to slight physical changes in faces.
- inferior parietal lobule search for term
-
part of the parietal lobe; also known as the inferior parietal gyrus. A fold in the lower area of the parietal lobe. The area is sensitive to phonological demands and appears to be involved in reading.
- inferior temporal gyrus search for term
-
a fold in the lower area of the temporal lobe. The area is involved in object recognition.
- insula search for term
-
part of the paralimbic zone, it is critical for perception and modulation of sensory and autonomic data, including pain and visceral sensations. It's also involved in speech.
- internal capsule search for term
-
a collection of axons connecting the cerebral cortex and the brain stem
- intraparietal sulcus search for term
-
a sulcus in the inferior parietal lobule that is implicated in language processing, in particular spelling. Also recently implicated in skill learning.
