Insular Cortex http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insular_cortex "In each hemisphere of the mammalian brain the insular cortex (often called insula, insulary cortex or insular lobe) is a portion of the cerebral cortex folded deep within the lateral sulcus(the fissure separating the temporal lobe from the parietal and frontal lobes)."
