BA 38 is at the anterior end of the temporal lobe, known as the temporal pole. This area is also known as '''temporopolar area 38 (H)'''. It is a subdivision of the [[cytoarchitecture|cytoarchitecturally]] defined [[temporal region]] of [[cerebral cortex]]. It is located primarily in the most rostral portions of the [[superior temporal gyrus]] and the [[middle temporal gyrus]]. Cytoarchitecturally it is bounded caudally by the [[inferior temporal area 20]], the [[middle temporal area 21]], the [[superior temporal area 22]] and the [[ectorhinal area 36]] (Brodmann-1909). ==Sources== * The above definitions were provided by BrainInfo - an available-to-all neuroscientific portal on the web. * More of '''temporal area 38 (H)''' at [http://braininfo.rprc.washington.edu/Scripts/ancilcentraldirectory.aspx?ID=72 BrainInfo] ==See also== * [[Brodmann area]] * [[List of regions in the human brain]] {{neuroanatomy-stub}} {{Prosencephalon}} [[Category:Brodmann areas|38]]
