====== Lobe ====== The division of the [[cerebrum]] into 5 lobes is widely accepted in the scientific community. Despite this, a history of the lobes of the [[brain]] has not been discussed in the [[literature]]. Therefore, a article recounts this history with emphasis on the contributions of [[Thomas Willis]] (1664), [[Felix Vicq d'Azyr]] (1796), [[Johann Christian Reil]] (1796), [[François Chaussier]] (1807), and [[Louis Pierre Gratiolet]] and [[François Leuret]] (1857) into one of the most widely accepted concepts in neuroanatomy ((Casillo SM, Luy DD, Goldschmidt E. A History of the Lobes of the Brain. World Neurosurg. 2020 Feb;134:353-360. doi: 10.1016/j.wneu.2019.10.155. Epub 2019 Nov 1. PMID: 31682988.)) ---- The division of the [[cerebrum]] into five lobes is widely accepted in the scientific community. The subdivision of the [[cerebral hemisphere]]s into lobes was determined from the [[skull]] [[bone]]s with which they are related ((Ribas EC, Yağmurlu K, de Oliveira E, Ribas GC, Rhoton A Jr. Microsurgical anatomy of the central core of the brain. J Neurosurg. 2018;129:752-769.)) However, in [[1809]], in its original description by [[Johann Christian Reil]], the [[insula]] was recognized as a distinct lobe ((Ribas GC. Neuroanatomical basis of behavior: history and recent contributions. Rev Bras Psiquiatr. 2007;29:63-71.))
