“insula”的概念、定义、翻译、参考文献-科学参考

insula

Astronomy

An island in a sea or lake on a planetary body or satellite; pl. insulae. The name is not a geological term but is used in the nomenclature of features such as Bermoothes Insula on Titan.

Biology

A region of the forebrain lying deep within the cortex of each cerebral hemisphere. The insulae are thought to process information about the state of the body—‘how it feels’—and integrate this with parts of the limbic system involved with feeling emotion. They are associated with basic emotions such as pain, joy, sadness, and fear, and with bodily desires, such as cravings for food or drugs. The insulae of humans and great apes have an expanded anterior region and also contain a unique type of spindle-shaped neuron called a VEN (von Economo neuron) after their discoverer, the Austrian neurologist Constantin von Economo (1876–1931). The VENs are thought to account for the higher cognitive functions of the insulae in humans, such as planning and decision-making.

Geology and Earth Sciences

On the surface of Titan, an isolated area of land (i.e. an island) or group of such areas surrounded by liquid.
