Cerebral Lobes and Insula

By convention, the cerebrum is subdivided into lobes named after the bones of the skull beneath which they are located. The central sulcus divides the frontal lobe from the parietal lobe. The temporal lobe lies  immediately ventral to the deep lateral (Sylvian) fissure. The occipital lobe lies right at the back of the cerebrum, next to both parietal and temporal lobes. A buried piece of the cortex, the insula (Latin for 'island), is exposed if the margins of the lateral fissure are pulled apart (smaller image). The insula borders and separates the temporal and frontal lobes.

A personal request from Barry Thain, Clinical Hypnotist

This is the brochure site for my hypnotherapy practice. I put these pages here because I think hypnosis is all in the brain and, indeed, most of my work involves intervening in the supply of corticotropin releasing hormone from the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis. 

Despite being a hypnotherapy site, these neuro-graphics pages get thousands of visits every month. (I've discovered they are used in Wikipedia so that explains a lot of it.) I hope this page has been useful to you, because it isn't of any use to me; unless ...

I have a hypnosis mp3 site. You would do me a great favour if you visited the site briefly because Google would notice and my site would become easier to find for those who want to download therapy. There's no trap, and you don't have to buy anything. There is a free (and popular, and effective) therapy called Appreciate Yourself that you are welcome to grab if you want to, but really I'd just appreciate the visit.

I'm afraid you'll find this request on all these pages, but you don't have to follow the link every time you see it. Once will be great!

Thanks in advance.

Barry
