Brodmann area 26 is the name for a small part of the brain. The brain is the center of the Nervous system in animals All Vertebrates and the majority of Invertebrates have a brain

Human
In the human this area is called ectosplenial area 26. It is a cytoarchitecturally defined portion of the retrosplenial region of the cerebral cortex. Cytoarchitecture is the cellular composition of a bodily structure The retrosplenial region is a brain area and part of the Cingulate cortex. The cerebral cortex is a structure within the Brain that plays a key role in Memory, Attention, perceptual Awareness, Thought, It is a narrow band located in the isthmus of cingulate gyrus adjacent to the fasciolar gyrus internally. It is bounded externally by the granular retrolimbic area 29 (Brodmann-1909). Brodmann area 29, also known as granular retrolimbic area 29, is a cytoarchitecturally defined portion of the Retrosplenial region of the Cerebral
Guenon
In the guenon Brodmann area 26 is a subdivision of the cerebral cortex defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture. The guenons are the Genus Cercopithecus of Old World monkeys Not all the members of this genus have the word "guenon" in their The smallest of Brodmann's cortical areas in the monkey, it represents cortex that is less differentiated and relatively smaller in monkey and human than in other species. Brodmann regarded it as topographically and cytoarchitecturally homologous to the combined human ectosplenial area 26, granular retrolimbic area 29 and agranular retrolimbic area 30 (Brodmann-1909). In Evolutionary biology, homology has come to mean any similarity between characters that is due to their shared ancestry. Brodmann area 29, also known as granular retrolimbic area 29, is a cytoarchitecturally defined portion of the Retrosplenial region of the Cerebral Brodmann area 30, also known as agranular retrolimbic area 30, is a subdivision of the cytoarchitecturally defined Retrosplenial region of the Cerebral Distinctive features (Brodmann-1905): thin cortex; distinct but narrow layers.
