Development
Normally, the insular opercula begin to develop between the 20th and the 22nd weeks of pregnancy. At weeks 14 to 16 of fetal development, the insula begins to invaginate from the surface of the immature cerebrum of the brain, until at full term, the opercula completely cover the insula.BOOK, Larroche JC, 1977, Development of the central nervous system, Developmental Pathology of the Neonate, Amsterdam, Excerpta Medica, 319â27, 978-90-219-2107-5, , as cited in note 3 of JOURNAL, Chen CY, Zimmerman RA, Faro S, etal, MR of the cerebral operculum: abnormal opercular formation in infants and children, American Journal of Neuroradiology, 17, 7, 1303â11, August 1996, 8871716,weblink This process is called opercularization.Cheng-Yu Chen, Robert A.

Albert Einstein's brain
Opinions differ on whether Albert Einstein's brain possessed parietal opercula. Falk, et al. claim that the brain actually did have parietal opercula,{{harvnb|Falk|Lepore|Noe|2013|p=22 }} while Witelson et al. claim that it did not.JOURNAL, Witelson SF, Kigar DL, Harvey T, The exceptional brain of Albert Einstein, Lancet, 353, 9170, 2149â53, June 1999, 10382713, 10.1016/S0140-6736(98)10327-6, Einstein's lower parietal lobe (which is involved in mathematical thought, visuospatial cognition and imagery of movement) was 15% larger than average.weblink" title="web.archive.org/web/20070326211017weblink">Witelson's measurementSee also
