Work Step by Step

The insula is a deeply buried part of the cerebrum. It lies buried in the lateral cerebral sulcus ( Sylvian sulcus) inferior to the parietal , temporal and frontal lobes. This is sometimes called the insulary cortex and is believed to have several functions: These include control of temperature homeostasis, heart rate, and cardiac rhythm ; maintenance of muscle tone; and perception of taste sensations The insulary cortex is also believed to have a role in cognition.
