Hi dudes,
Did anyone ever try to find Brodmann's Area 51?

These are Brodmann areas:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brodmann_areas

...Now if you scroll down to the actual list of areas, you'll notice that areas 50 and 51 are missing. We know Brodmann area 49 is the 'Parasubiculum' network in a rodent. We know Brodmann area 52 is the Parainsular network (the junction of the temporal lobe and the insula).

...So where, may we ask, are areas 50 and 51?

The journal "Cerebral Cortex" tells us, "Rostrally and dorsally, the piriform and the periamygdaloid (area 51; Brodmann, 1909) cortices border the rostral entorhinal cortex."
...But it turns out they are talking about baboons. What have baboons got that we haven't? Could it be Area 51?
But wait! Humans also have both a piriform cortex (otherwise, how would we smell?)* and a periamygdaloid cortex (also involved in smell, and probably yawning). Why don't we have an official Area 51 like other mammals?

I smell a conspiracy here  :  )
Is Area 51 really where they keep the aliens? I mean why not? -It could be the perfect area for nasal implants.
Nobody nose.
Best,
AR
* Terrible.
