Brodmann's Area of Cortex. A few numbers are missing from the original sources, including 12-16 and 48-51. Some Areas have histologically distinctive boundaries and are outlined with heavy solid lines; others, such as 6 and 18-19 have less distinctive boundaries and are outlined with light solid lines; The remaining areas have no distinct boundaries but gradually merge into one another and are outlined with dotted lines. (After Elliott, 1969)
