From: Altered functional organization within the insular cortex in adult males with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder: evidence from connectivity-based parcellation

Fig. 4

Spatial configurations and labels for the insular sub-regions. The parcellation pattern of the left insula of the TD group is magnified. We divided the whole region anterior, middle, posterior, and posterior-most sectors along the anterior-posterior axis (a). Further subdivision along the dorsal-ventral axis in each sector resulted in eight sub-regions in total (b): (1) anterior sector: anterior dorsal (AD) and ventral (AV) sub-regions (green and cyan), (2) middle sector: middle dorsal (MD), central (C), and middle ventral (MV) sub-regions (brown, yellow, and blue), (3) posterior sector: posterior dorsal (PD) and ventral (PV) sub-regions (magenta and orange), and (4) posterior-most sub-region (purple). D dorsal, V ventral, A anterior, P posterior
