Brain - Printer-friendly - MSN Encarta The frontal lobe is the largest of the five and consists of all the cortex in front of the central sulcus. The parietal lobe consists of the cortex behind the central sulcus to a sulcus near the back of the cerebrum known as the parieto-occipital sulcus. The parieto-occipital sulcus, in turn, forms the front border of the occipital lobe, which is the rearmost part of the cerebrum. encarta.msn.com /text_761555359___47/Brain.html   (1742 words)

Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body. Page 821 On the medial surface, it is separated from the cingulate gyrus by the cingulate sulcus; and on the inferior surface, it is bounded behind by the stem of the lateral fissure. The precentral sulcus runs parallel to the central sulcus, and is usually divided into an upper and a lower part; between it and the central sulcus is the anterior central gyrus. The anterior central gyrus (gyrus centralis anterior; ascending frontal convolution; precentral gyre) is bounded in front by the precentral sulcus, behind by the central sulcus; it extends from the supero-medial border of the hemisphere to the posterior ramus of the lateral fissure. www.bartleby.com /107/pages/page821.html   (441 words)

Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body. Page 823 The lateral surface is limited in front by the lateral part of the parietoöccipital fissure, and by a line carried from the end of this fissure to the preoccipital notch; it is traversed by the transverse occipital and the lateral occipital sulci. The transverse occipital sulcus is continuous with the posterior end of the occipital ramus of the intraparietal sulcus, and runs across the upper part of the lobe, a short distance behind the parietoöccipital fissure. The lateral occipital sulcus extends from behind forward, and divides the lateral surface of the occipital lobe into a superior and an inferior gyrus, which are continuous in front with the parietal and temporal lobes. www.bartleby.com /107/pages/page823.html   (634 words)

External Surface of Cerebrum - MEDSTUDENTS - NEUROANATOMY The parietal lobe in the external surface is limited anteriorly by the central sulcus, posteriorly by an imaginary line which runs from the parieto-occipital sulcus to the preoccipital notch, superiorly by the superior margin and inferiorly by the lateral sulcus. Running parallel to the central sulcus is the postcentral sulcus and between them is the postcentral gyrus which receives the general sensation from the contralateral side of the body, forming the primary sensory area of the cortex. The occipitotemporal sulcus and the inferior temporal sulcus delimit the inferior temporal gyrus. www.medstudents.com.br /basic/neuran/neuran3.htm   (2156 words)

PainOnline.com: Bowsher Explodes Pain Theory The lobe of the brain in front of the cental sulcus is known as the frontal cortex. The rear rim of the central sulcus or central fissure is known as the postcentral ridge or postcentral gyrus. When central pain occurs from injury to the cord, there is reason to believe that the chemical insult which flows from nerve injury travels to the thalamus at the center of the brain and reproduces the dysfunctional signal. www.painonline.com /mt-archives/2004/11/bowsher_explode.html   (1320 words)

Brain - MSN Encarta Brain, portion of the central nervous system contained within the skull. The brain is the control center for movement, sleep, hunger, thirst, and virtually every other vital activity necessary to survival.

Last check: 2007-11-04) Notes: Always first identify the postcentral sulcus in superior axial view, as it is always the sulcus just behind the central sulcus at the superior extent. There is often a small extra sulcus between the central and the postcentral near the Sylvian at the inferior extent of the sulcus (see case 10792, 2137, 102812). If the superior extent of the sulcus is not continuous up to the midline, always choose the posterior extent (e.g., not anterior towards the central sulcus) using the following guidelines: move posterior when you reach the most superior bifurcation from the midline. www.loni.ucla.edu /NCRR/Downloads/Protocols/SulcalAnatomy_3.html   (155 words)
