Brains II

Here, the right temporal lobe is gently pulled outward to see a portion of the brain deep to it = the “insula”. Also note that the carotid artery is seen coming into the skull through a foramen in line with one in C1 (atlas). Travels in along the insula to emerge over the top edge of the temporal lobe as made visible here by pulling the temporal lobe away from its more medial resting place. A blockage of the artery in the neck will damage far more brain than blockage of that blood path higher up.
