In this image, the angular gyrus is denoted by the double asterisk **
The angular gyrus is a region of the brain lying mainly in the posteroinferior region of the parietal lobe, occupying the posterior part of the inferior parietal lobule.[1] It represents the Brodmann area 39.[1]
Its significance is in transferring visual information to Wernicke's area, in order to make meaning out of visually perceived words.[2] It is also involved in a number of processes related to language, number processing and spatial cognition, memory retrieval, attention, and theory of mind.
