This page covers biological details of component Posterior Insular Cortex. Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

• Top-down path to region: Cortex -> Temporal Lobe (NC.LOBE.TEMP) -> Insular Cortex (NC.INS) -> Posterior Insular Cortex (NCP.NC.INS.PIC) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: cortex
• Brain area: Neocortical Brain - Conscious Personality Area
• Brodmann ID: 13
• Role: processor
• Function: Awareness and sensation of pain
