What is Brodmann's Localisation in the cerebral cortex : the principles of comparative localisation in the cerebral cortex based on the cytoarchitectonics about?

This is the third edition of the translation, by Laurence Garey, of ''Vergleichende Lokalisationslehre der Grosshirnrinde'' by Korbinian Brodmann, originally published by Barth-Verlag in Leipzig in 1909. It is one of the major ''classics'' of the neurological world. Even today it forms the basis for so-called ''localisation'' of function in the cerebral cortex. Brodmann's ''areas'' are still used to designate functional regions in the cortex, the part of the brain that brings the world that surrounds us into consciousness, and which governs our responses to the world. For example, we use ''area 4'' for the ''motor'' cortex, with which we control our muscles, ''area 17'' for ''visual'' cortex, with which we see, and so on. This nomenclature is used by neurologists and neurosurgeons in the human context, as well as by experimentalists in various animals. Indeed, Brodmann's famous ''maps'' of the cerebral cortex of humans, monkeys and other mammals must be among the most commonly reproduced figures in neurobiological publishing. The most famous of all is that of the human brain. There can be few textbooks of neurology, neurophysiology or neuroanatomy in which Brodmann is not cited, an
