“…AVI overlaps with superior portions of the architectonic area Iai of Öngür et al, 2003 (see Glasser et al, 2016). Previous work has attempted to distinguish activation in the anterior insula from the adjacent frontal operculum, with the peak often near the junction of the two (Amiez et al, 2016). In our data, AVI is the more strongly activated.…”

AbstractNumerous brain imaging studies identified a domain-general or “multiple-demand” (MD) activation pattern accompanying many tasks and may play a core role in cognitive control. Though this finding is well established, the limited spatial localization provided by traditional imaging methods precluded a consensus regarding the precise anatomy, functional differentiation and connectivity of the MD system. To address these limitations, we used data from 449 subjects from the Human Connectome Project, with cortex of each individual parcellated using neurobiologically grounded multi-modal MRI features. The conjunction of three cognitive contrasts reveals a core of 10 widely distributed MD parcels per hemisphere that are most strongly activated and functionally interconnected, surrounded by a penumbra of 17 additional areas. Outside cerebral cortex, MD activation is most prominent in the caudate and cerebellum. Comparison with canonical resting state networks shows MD regions concentrated in the fronto-parietal network but also engaging three other networks. MD activations show modest relative task preferences accompanying strong co-recruitment. With distributed anatomical organization, mosaic functional preferences, and strong interconnectivity, we suggest MD regions are well positioned to integrate and assemble the diverse components of cognitive operations. Our precise delineation of MD regions provides a basis for refined analyses of their functions.

“…Opposing views suggest that the MFC is functionally comparable in humans and macaque (Sallet et al, 2013;Amiez et al, 2016). As mentioned above, several studies have shown that strong relationships exist between sulcal morphology and functional organization in the human brain.…”

Although the relative expansion of the frontal cortex in primate evolution is generally accepted, the nature of the human uniqueness, if any, and between-species anatomo-functional comparisons of the frontal areas remain controversial. To provide a novel interpretation of the evolution of primate brains, sulcal morphological variability of the medial frontal cortex was assessed in old-world monkeys (macaque, baboon) and Hominoidea (chimpanzee, human). We discovered that both Hominoidea do possess a paracingulate sulcus, which was previously thought to be uniquely human and linked to higher cognitive functions like mentalizing. Also, we revealed systematic sulcal morphological organisations of the medial frontal cortex that can be traced from multiple old-world monkey to Hominoidea species, demonstrating an evolutionary conserved organizational principle. Our data provide a new framework to compare sulcal morphology, cytoarchitectonic areal distribution, connectivity, and function across the primate order, leading to clear predictions on how other primate brains might be anatomo-functionally organized.

“…The exact link between the folding pattern and functional competence is a complex issue (Welker et al, 1988 ; Zilles et al, 2013 ). However, strong correspondences between cortical folding features and functional activations have been found not only in primary areas but also in higher level areas, including the visual areas (Watson et al, 1993 ; Dumoulin et al, 2000 ), the paracentral sulcus (Grosbras et al, 1999 ), the PreCS (Sun et al, 2015 ), the frontal operculum (Amiez et al, 2016 ), the midcingulate cortex (Amiez et al, 2013 ), the dorsal premotor region (Amiez et al, 2006 ) and the fusiform gyrus (Weiner et al, 2014 ). The main difficulty limiting the investigation of such sulcal morphology/function correspondence is the variability of the folding pattern (Ono et al, 1990 ; Régis et al, 2005 ; Petrides et al, 2012 ).…”

A major feature of the human cortex is its huge morphological variability. Although a comprehensive literature about the sulco-gyral pattern of the central region is available from post-mortem data, a reliable and reproducible characterization from in vivo data is still lacking. The aim of this study is to test the reliability of morphological criteria of the central region sulci used in post-mortem data, when applied to in vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. Thirty right-handed healthy individuals were included in the study. Automated segmentation and three dimensional (3D) surface-based rendering were obtained from clinical 3D T1-weighted MRI. Two senior radiologists labeled the three sulci composing the central region (precentral [PreCS], central [CS] and postcentral [PostCS]) and analyzed their morphological variations using 47 standard criteria derived from Ono’s atlas based on post-mortem data. For each criterion, inter-rater concordance and comparison with the occurrence frequency provided in Ono’s atlas were estimated. Overall, the sulcal pattern criteria derived from MRI data were highly reproducible between the raters with a high mean inter-rater concordance in the three sulci (CS: κ = 0.92 in left hemisphere/κ = 0.91 in right hemisphere; PreCS: κ = 0.91/κ = 0.93; PostCS: κ = 0.84/0.79). Only a very limited number of sulcal criteria significantly differed between the in vivo and the post-mortem data (CS: 2 criteria in the left hemisphere/3 criteria in the right hemisphere; PreCS: 3 in the left and right hemispheres; PostCS: 3 in the left hemisphere and 5 in the right hemisphere). Our study provides a comprehensive description of qualitative sulcal patterns in the central region from in vivo clinical MRI with high agreement with previous post-mortem data. Such identification of reliable sulcal patterns of the central region visible with standard clinical MRI data paves the way for the detection of subtle variations of the central sulcation associated with variations of normal or pathological functioning.
