Schematic brain representations illustrating the topography of the vestibular cortical fields as they have been experimentally identified in cat, monkey, and human. The numbers on the cortex indicate the architectonically defined Brodman’s areas (based on (Talairach and Tournoux, 1988). In the right panel are listed the vestibular sites with their localization in the cortical regions. In cat: the marginal sulcus (mars), the anterior (ass), middle (mss) and posterior (pss) suprasylvian sulci, the anterior (aes) and posterior (pes) ectosylvian sulci. In primate (monkey and human): the lunate sulcus (ls), the superior temporal sulcus (sts), the sylvian scissure (ss), the intraparietal sulcus (ip), the central sulcus (cs) and the arcuate sulcus (as), the superior (STS) and middle (MTG) temporal gyri, the angular gyrus (AG), the supramarginal gyrus (SMG), the superior (SPL) and inferior (IPL) parietal lobes, the postcentral (PoCG) and precentral (PreCG) gyri, the middle (MFG) and inferior (IFG) frontal gyri.
