Cortical Anatomy: Brodmann Areas

In this episode of The Neurosurgery Review, I, Mustafa Farooq, a fourth-year medical student at the Medical College of Georgia and neurosurgery residency applicant, delve into the fascinating world of Brodmann areas—the functional mapping of the cerebral cortex.

We explore the key Brodmann areas, including Area 4 (primary motor cortex), Area 17 (primary visual cortex), Area 22 (Wernicke's area), and others, highlighting their anatomical locations, functional roles, and relevance in neurosurgical practice.

This detailed overview aims to provide a high-yield understanding of these regions, their clinical implications, and their importance in diagnosing and treating neurological disorders.
