Preferred Label : Brodmann (1909) area 19;
Uberon definition : Brodmann area 19, or BA19, is part of the occipital lobe cortex in the human brain.
Along with area 18, it comprises the extrastriate (or peristriate) cortex. In normally-sighted
humans, extrastriate cortex is a visual association area, with feature-extracting,
shape recognition, attentional, and multimodal integrating functions. This area is
also known as peristriate area 19, and it refers to a subdivision of the cytoarchitecturally
defined occipital region of cerebral cortex. In the human it is located in parts of
the lingual gyrus, the cuneus, the lateral occipital gyrus (H) and the superior occipital
gyrus (H) of the occipital lobe where it is bounded approximately by the parieto-occipital
sulcus. Cytoarchitecturally it is bounded on one side by the parastriate area 18 which
it surrounds. Rostrally it is bounded by the angular area 39 (H) and the occipitotemporal
area 37 (H) (Brodmann-1909).;
