Projections of the insular cortex to orbitofrontal and medial prefrontal cortex: A tracing study in the rat

The dense fiber pathways that connect the insular cortex with frontal cortices are thought to provide these frontal areas with interoceptive information, crucial for their involvement in executive functions. Using anterograde neuroanatomical tracing, we mapped the detailed organization of the projec...
