Figure 14

Drawing of side view of cat brain. The inset (upper right) illustrates the position of the brain relative to the head. The gyral patterns of the cortex are fairly reproducible across individual cats but they are not identical; thus, they are not reliable markers for cortical function. The many auditory areas reflect the complex processing involved in creating sound awareness. Nomenclature adopted from [129]. Abbreviations: AAF, anterior auditory field; AES, anterior ectosylvian sulcus area; AI, primary auditory cortex; AII, secondary auditory cortex; DZ, dorsal auditory zone; ED, posterior ectosylvian gyrus; EI, posterior ectosylvian gyrus, intermediate part; EV, posterior ectosylvian gyrus, ventral part; In, insular cortex; P, auditory cortex, posterior area; Te, temporal cortex; Ve, auditory cortex, ventral area; VP, auditory cortex, ventral posterior area.
