Anatomofunctional organization of the insular cortex: A study using intracerebral electrical stimulation in epileptic patients

Purpose:  Different lines of evidence suggest that the insular cortex has many important functional roles. Direct electrical stimulation (ES) of the human insular cortex during surgical procedures for epilepsy, functional imaging techniques, and lesion studies also occasionally induces clinical responses.
