Angular Gyrus

Angular gyrus, the horseshoe-shaped region in the brain, is involved in processes related to language, number processing, spatial cognition, memory retrieval, attention, and theory of mind (one’s own beliefs about what’s going on in another person’s head). It’s also involved in higher processing of colors. Fibers from the fusiform gyrus relay shape information to the angular gyrus to produce color-shape associations in grapheme-color synesthesia.
