Kotter also covered.

Donna (others),
The brain area acronyms below are largely derived from non-English
terminology, typically German, and thus I didn't include the full names in some
of those cases. However, my recollection is roughly:
IPa = intraparietal, anterior
PA = no idea
TAa - is some temporal cortex subdivision, anterior
TE, Tx = similarly are temporal subdivisions, but of unclear actual
nomenclature.
My experience in finding/using such terminology was that if some study had cited a reasonable looking homologue to what I was observing in our monkey slice sections then I would use their nomenclature. If there were competing potential names then I went with that which seemed closest to what I was seeing. In the case of these latter names, I couldn't find any more recent refernces, and thus stook with their nomenclature even though they didn't explicitly state what their acronyms stood for--often times these were transcribed from German or the like.
The nomenclature issue was a BIG issue indeed, and will likely continue to "evolve" as newer and better methods of segregating brain regions develop. The problem only gets worse when dealing with human brain areas/regions.
hope this helps.

Hi Jim,
Thought you might know the answer to this user's query; I don't, and DVE
is out of the office.

Hello,
Im not a neuroanatomist, but I want to find the neuroanatomical names
for the temporal areas in the F99UA1 macaque parcellated according to
C:\Caret5\CARET_TUTORIAL_SEPT06\MACAQUE\Macaque.F99UA1.BOTH.LewisVE00+orig
Most of the abbreviations given in the associated paint colour key are
listed explicitly in the LVE00 reference paper (Lewis JW and Van
Essen DC, /J Comp Neurol/, *428*:112-37, 2000). Unfortunately the
following abbreviations dont appear to be given in full in this
reference paper or in the other references cited (Seltzer B and Pandya
DN, /Brain Res/, *149*:1-24, 1978, and Cusick CG et al., /J Comp
Neurol/, *360*:513-35, 1995):
IPa
PA
TAa
TE
Ts
I would be very grateful if anyone could please let me know what these
abbreviations are in full.
Many thanks in anticipation.
Hamied
