Abstract in brief

The insular cortex, located deep in the lateral sulcus of the brain, has multiple subdivisions—ranging from 2 to 13—depending on different research methods, and is organized based on its structure, landmarks, and connectivity.
The insula is involved in many human functions, including sensory perception, emotional processing, and complex thinking, showing significant variation in its activity and roles.
Recent studies using brain imaging and lesion case analyses suggest that the insula is functionally diverse, meaning different parts of it may handle different tasks or processes.]
