The cytoarchitectonics of brain insular area was studied in albino rat. It was found that this part of neocortex is subdivided into two subareas, each consisting of two fields. The peculiar features of cytoarchitectonics of these subareas and fields are presented. A topographic map is suggested, describing their position on the lateral surface of cerebral hemisphere. Classification of insular area subdivisions, suggested in the present study, is discussed in connection with the data of other authors.
