Scope note: Región de forma piramidal de la corteza cerebral ubicada profundamente debajo de la fisura lateral en los PRIMATES. Está rodeada por el GIRO TEMPORAL SUPERIOR, la porción rostral del LÓBULO PARIETAL, el giro frontal inferior y los giros orbitales. Es la corteza gustativa primaria e interviene en funciones sensitivomotoras y somatosensoriales, así como en funciones socioemocionales.

Scope note: A pyramidal shaped region of cerebral cortex located deep below the lateral fissure in PRIMATES. It is surrounded by the SUPERIOR TEMPORAL GYRUS, the rostral PARIETAL LOBE, the INFERIOR FRONTAL GYRUS and the ORBITAL GYRI. It is the primary gustatory cortex and is involved in sensorimotor and somatosensory as well as socioemotional functions.
