The walls (lateral to)

300

Name a cortical connection and describe what areas it connects

- commissural: homologous areas of L & R hemis

- projection: cerebral cortex w/ subcortical nuclei

- association: connect gyri (adjacent or distant)

- intracortical: cells w/in same gyrus 

300

This Brodmann's number is associated with Wernicke's area. 

Area 22
