BA39 encompasses the [[angular gyrus]], lying near to the junction of [[temporal lobe|temporal]], [[occipital lobe|occipital]] and [[parietal lobe]]s. This area is also known as '''angular area 39 (H)'''. It corresponds to the [[angular gyrus]] surrounding the caudal tip of the [[superior temporal sulcus]]. Dorsally it is bounded approximately by the [[intraparietal sulcus]]. [[cytoarchitecture|Cytoarchitecturally]] it is bounded rostrally by the [[supramarginal area 40]] (H), dorsally and caudally by the [[peristriate area 19]], and ventrally by the [[occipitotemporal area 37]] (H) (Brodmann-1909). Brodmann area 39 plays a role in semantic [[aphasia]]. It was regarded by [[Alexander Luria]] as a part of the [[temporo-parieto-occipital area]], which includes [[Brodmann area 40]], [[Brodmann area 19]], and [[Brodmann area 37]]. ==References== <references/> {{Unreferenced|date=December 2006}} ==See also== * [[Brodmann area]] * [[List of regions in the human brain]] {{Prosencephalon}} [[Category:Brodmann areas|39]] {{neuroanatomy-stub}}
