Hello Milan, Years ago, I generated the Brodmann surface-based maps in Caret by manually estimating areal boundaries on a surface-based atlas using as a reference the classical Brodmann drawing of a right hemisphere (reprinted in Polyak, 1947). Because this illustration did not include insular cortex, these areas were omitted from the surface-based parcellation.
Several other parenthetical comments that you and others might find helpful: 1) The Brodmann areal boundaries on our surface-based atlases are only crude approximations, because Brodmann did not indicate their location within sulcal cortex. 2) Human cortical parcellation is a very active research arena. We have made available surface-based parcellations based on architectonics that cover about 1/3 of cortex, along with resting-state fMRI parcellations that span all of cortex. 3) FYI, Caret software is being maintained but not developed further. My lab is currently focused on continued development of Connectome Workbench (http://www.humanconnectome.org/software/connectome-workbench.html). Workbench performs most of what Caret can do (but better!) and has many additional visualization and analysis features. Caret spec files and data files can be imported into workbench-compatible format.
