Hand drawings of Brodmann (with permission of the Brodmann Museum, Hohenfels-Liggersdorf, Germany). (A) Lateral view of the left hemisphere of a platypus (Ornithorhynchus paradoxus, Monotremata). (B) Lateral view of the right hemisphere of a spiny anteater (Echidna, Monotremata). (C) Mesial surface of the right hemisphere of a common brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula). ‘Am’ in the yellow circle depicts the Corpus amygdaloideum. Large black dot commissura anterior. The commissura anterior is far smaller in the human than in the marsupial brain, since it preferentially connects allocortical regions, which are large in marsupials but belong to the relatively small (relative to the isocortex) human allocortex (archi- and palaeocortex). (D) Mesial surface of the right hemisphere of the Kinkajou (Cercoleptes caudivolvolus). Fine dots label the primary visual cortex (BA17), other symbols mark the olfactory and entorhinal cortex. (E) Mesial surface of the right hemisphere of a prosimian (Lemur niger). Large black pyramids mark the area praeparietalis (BA5), filled circles the primary motor cortex (BA4), open circles the premotor cortex (BA6), dots the primary visual cortex (BA17), and the large and small crosses the cingulate cortex (par of BA24 and the whole BA23, respectively). This sketch is an early stage of Fig. 99 in the monography (Brodmann, 1909). (F) Lateral view of the left hemisphere of a kangaroo (Macropus pennicillatus). Blue contour primary motor cortex (BA4), red primary visual cortex (BA17), yellow olfactory cortex. (G) Brodmann together with Cécile and Oskar Vogt in the ‘Neurobiological Laboratory’ of the University of Berlin. From left to right Korbinian Brodmann, Cécile and Oskar Vogt, the technician Louise Bosse, and the scientific collaborators Max Lewandowski and Max Borchert. Photo taken around 1905.
