Anterior insula = "G_insular_short"
Posterior insula = "G_Ins_lg_and_S_cent_ins"
I wouldn't add the circular sulcus of the insula which limits it from the surrounding frontal, parietal and temporal opercula

> Hi all,
>
> I have a hard time relating the boundaries of the insula defined by
> Freesurfer (Destrieux a2009s) with what is out there in the
> literature. Most of what is out there is described in terms of
> anterior and posterior insula, and I'm not sure if most of them
> match well with what is described in Destrieux et al. paper
> (
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2937159/?tool=pubmed)
> as the "anterior" and "posterior" insula as described below:
>
> "The central sulcus of the insula ran antero-inferiorly from the
> superior segment of the circular segment of the insula. It was a
> small sulcus that was not always visible on its whole course on the
> inflated views. It divided the insula in two parts: the short
> insular gyri [G_insular_short, 18] (anterior) and the long insular
> gyrus (posterior). Due to their small size, the central sulcus of
> the insula and the long insular gyri were grouped in the same label
> [G_Ins_lg_and_S_cent_ins, 17]."
>
> Based on these definitions, would it be fair to say:
> Anterior insula = "G_insular_short" and "S_circular_insula_ant"
> Posterior insula = "G_Ins_lg_and_S_cent_ins" and
> "S_circular_insula_inf"
