Insular Cortex
A pyramidal shaped region of cerebral cortex located deep below the lateral fissure in PRIMATES. It is surrounded by the SUPERIOR TEMPORAL GYRUS, the rostral PARIETAL LOBE, the INFERIOR FRONTAL GYRUS and the ORBITAL GYRI. It is the primary gustatory cortex and is involved in sensorimotor and somatosensory as well as socioemotional functions.
