Abstract
The Insular Cortex (IC) is a portion of the cerebral cortex folded deep within the lateral sulcus – in rodents surrounding the rhinal fissure between the temporal and frontal lobes. The IC was first described by J.C. Reil in 1809 [1], after whom it received the name “the island of Reil”. Historically, the IC has been mentioned with several names, including “the central lobe”, “the fifth lobe”, “intersylvian convolutions” and “intralobular gyri” (reviewed in [2]).
