Preferred Label : Insular Cortex;
MeSH definition : A pyramidal shaped region of cerebral cortex located deep below the lateral fissure
in PRIMATES. It is surrounded by the SUPERIOR TEMPORAL GYRUS, the rostral PARIETAL
LOBE, the INFERIOR FRONTAL GYRUS and the ORBITAL GYRI. It is the primary gustatory
cortex and is involved in sensorimotor and somatosensory as well as socioemotional
functions.;
