Brodmann areas

The tutorial explores Korbinian Brodmann's pioneering work in mapping the human brain into 52 areas based on cytoarchitecture. It covers key Brodmann areas in the frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal lobes, highlighting their functions in movement, sensory processing, vision, and language. The video also discusses the limitations of Brodmann's mapping and provides clinical notes on aphasia, a language disorder. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the key areas and their roles.
