Brodmann areas

Brodmann areas are regions of the brain that were mapped and numbered based on their cellular structure and organization. Each area is associated with different functions, such as processing sensory information, controlling movement, or involved in higher cognitive tasks. For example, Brodmann area 4 is related to motor control, while area 17 is crucial for vision. This classification helps scientists and doctors better understand how different parts of the brain work together and how they relate to specific behaviors or disorders.
