abstract = {The human frontal operculum (FOp) is a brain region that
covers parts of the ventral frontal cortex next to the
insula. Functional imaging studies showed activations in
this region in tasks related to language, somatosensory, and
cognitive functions. While the precise cytoarchitectonic
areas that correlate to these processes have not yet been
revealed, earlier receptorarchitectonic analysis resulted in
a detailed parcellation of the FOp.We complemented this
analysis by a cytoarchitectonic study of a sample of ten
postmortem brains and mapped the posterior FOp in serial,
cell-body stained histological sections using image analysis
and multivariate statistics. Three new areas were
identified: Op5 represents the most posterior area, followed
by Op6 and the most anterior region Op7. Areas Op5-Op7
approach the insula, up to the circular sulcus. Area 44 of
Broca’s region, the most ventral part of premotor area 6,
and parts of the parietal operculum are dorso-laterally
adjacent to Op5-Op7. The areas did not show any
interhemispheric or sex differences. Three-dimensional
probability maps and a maximum probability map were
generated in stereotaxic space, and then used, in a first
proof-of-concept-study, for functional decoding and analysis
of structural and functional connectivity.Functional
decoding revealed different profiles of
cytoarchitectonically identified Op5-Op7. While left Op6 was
active in music cognition, right Op5 was involved in
chewing/swallowing and sexual processing. Both areas showed
activation during the exercise of isometric force in
muscles. An involvement in the coordination of
flexion/extension could be shown for the right Op6.
Meta-analytic connectivity modeling revealed various
functional connections of the FOp areas within motor and
somatosensory networks, with the most evident connection
with the music/language network for Op6 left. The new
cytoarchitectonic maps are part of Julich Brain, and
publicly available to serve as a basis for future analyses
of structural-functional relationships in this region.},
