Brodmann area
As early as 1909, neuroanatomist Korbinian Brodmann divided the cerebral cortex into different areas. He did this based on histological criteria, distinguishing these areas according to their cellular structure. It later became apparent that these different structures of the cortex are often associated with different specializations.
