This text is often considered one of the major classics in the neurological world. It forms the basis for so-called localization of function in the cerebral cortex. Brodmann’s areas are still used to designate cortical functional regions, such as area four for the motor cortex, area 17 for the visual cortex and so on. This nomenclature is used by clinical neurologists and neurosurgeons for man as well as by experimentalists for various animals. There are few textbooks of neurology, neurophysiology or neuroanatomy in which Brodmann is not cited, and his concepts pervade most research publications on systematic neurobiology. In spite of this, few people have ever seen a copy of the 1909 monograph. This text provides an English translation of the original text.
