It divided the cerebral cortex according to histological criteria into 52 areas (designated after it today as Brodmann areas). In addition those e.g. count

• AREA 4 of the primarymotor Cortex on the Gyrus praecentralis the frontal rag
• Areae 41 and 42, which form the primary hearing crust in the speed ral rag
• Areae 44 and 45: Broca area
