'''Brodmann area 38''', or BA38, is part of the [[temporal lobe|temporal]] [[cerebral cortex | cortex]] in the [[human brain]]. 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).
