CEREBRAL CORTEX
Illustration of the brain divided into different functionnal areas :
- prefrontal cortex (light orange),
- pre-motor cortex (beige),
- primary motor cortex (yellow),
- primary somatosensory cortex (light blue),
- posterior parietal cortex (or association somatosensory cortex, dark blue),
- visual association areas (light green),
- primary visual area (dark green),
- Broca's area (bright orange),
- primary auditory cortex (pale-pink),
- Wernicke's area (purple),
- other regions of the temporal lobe (fushia), of which the functions are not currently clearly defined.

This image is part of a series on the anatomical and functionnal seperation of the brain into lobes and areas (see. images 0742007 to 0745207).
