In April 1918, Korbinian Brodmann moved to Munich to join the Deutsche Forschungsanstalt für Psychiatrie, the first interdisciplinary brain research institute in the world.1 Brodmann published what is now regarded as one of the major “classics” of neurological literature, a monograph entitled Vergleichende Lokalisationslehre der Grosshirnrinde. (An English translation by Laurence Garey was published in 1994: Brodmann’s Localisation in the Cerebral Cortex.) Although the cortical map Brodmann described was purely based on histomorphological criteria, it was an important landmark for future work on functional localization.
From our present perspective Brodmann’s work remains a seminal landmark for localizing activity in neuroimaging research, since most functional imaging studies still refer to Brodmann’s areas when they describe the localization of peak activities and the extent of the activated fields in the human brain.
