| Lobe | Functional brain areas |
|---|---|
| Perirolandic regionb | Lateral perirolandic |
| Mesial perirolandic | |
| Frontal lobec | Premotor |
| Negative motor/Broca’s languaged | |
| Dorso-lateral frontal | |
| Frontal pole | |
| Orbitofrontal | |
| Supplementary motor | |
| Pre-supplementary motor | |
| Mesial prefrontal | |
| Anterior cingulate gyrus | |
| Parietal lobee | Postero-superior parietal cortex |
| Postero-inferior parietal cortex | |
| Precuneus | |
| Posterior cingulate gyrus | |
| Temporal lobe | Mesial |
| Neocortical | |
| Occipital lobe | Primary visual cortex |
| Secondary visual cortex | |
| Insular lobe | Anterior insula |
| Posterior insula |
a
Functional brain areas, for each hemisphere, considered as exclusive categories.
b
Includes the primary motor and primary somatosensory cortex.
c
Excludes the primary motor cortex.
d
Broca’s language area was considered as present only in the dominant hemisphere where overlaps with the negative motor area.
e
Excludes the primary somatosensory cortex.
