Abstract:
Structural-functional organisation of the cortical insular area relating to processes of the visceral functions control, was analysed. Representation of gastrointestinal, respiratory, and cardiovascular systems in the area, is given. Sites of respective neuronal groups and specifics of their spatial organisation within the area, were found. The data obtained suggest a scheme of the rat insular cortex's visceral field.
