BASAL SURFACE OF THE BRAIN:
FUNCTIONAL AREAS AND
BRODMANN’S AREAS
This view provides information about the medial temporal lobe on the left side of the brain, especially cortical regions associated with the hippocampal formation, the amygdaloid nuclei, and the olfactory system. On the right side of the brain, Brodmann’s areas are noted.

tract, Temporal pole, Mammillary body, Optic tract, Optic nerve (II) (cut), Optic chiasm, Primary visual cortex, Visual
association cortex, Multisensory
association areas, Olfactory
