The insula is a region of the cerebral cortex. It lies beneath the lateral surface of the brain, within the lateral fissure. The insula is completely covered by other parts of the lateral cerebrum. These regions are known as opercula (meaning "lids"). There are frontal, temporal and parietal opercula, where parts of the corresponding lobes extend over the surface of the insula.

InsulatorInsulators are materials which prevent the flow of heat (thermal insulators) or electrical current (electrical insulators). The opposite of electrical insulators are conductors and semiconductors, which permit the flow of current (Note: a semiconductor isInsulationThis page refers to thermal insulation. For electrical insulation see insulators, and for sound insulation see sound proofing. Often the same techniques used for thermal insulation can be used for sound insulation as well.
