The new version of OLS (OLS4) will be unavailable for the next few days while we resolve deployment issues.

You can continue to browse this version of OLS, but some ontologies may be out of date.


Gray matter of the insular region of the neocortex. In gyrencephalic animals, it is part of the insular lobe and lies in the depths of the lateral fissure and covered by portions of the frontal, parietal and temporal lobes. It includes Brodmann areas 13-16. [ BIRNLEX : 1117 ]
