Topic: Lateral sulcus


In the News (Sun 29 Nov 09)

  
  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.

 Sulcus (neuroanatomy) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In neuroanatomy, a sulcus (pl. sulci) is a depression or fissure in the surface of the brain.
Sulcus temporalis superior (ts) - this sulcus runs parallel to the lateral fissure and extends to the temporal pole and often superficially merges with it.
parietal lobe: postcentral sulcus, postcentral gyrus (1, 2, 3, 43), superior parietal lobule (5), inferior parietal lobule (39-angular gyrus, 40), precuneus (7), intraparietal sulcus

 Lateral sulcus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The lateral sulcus (also called Sylvian fissure or lateral fissure) is one of the most prominent structures of the human brain.
In the left hemisphere the lateral sulcus is between Wernicke's area and Broca's area.
As the above areas of the brain are involved in language function the lateral sulcus appears also involved in language.

Sulci and Gyri of The Lateral Temporal Lobe
The sulci on the lateral surface of the temporal lobe are the lateral cerebral fossa and the lateral sulcus.
The margins of this fossa continue to grow, forming the overlapping folds of the "operculum," and the sulcus itself elongates in both directions to separate the temporal lobe from the frontal and the parietal lobes in front and above it.

The IFC is defined as cortex anterior to the precentral sulcus, inferior to the inferior frontal sulcus and superior and posterior to the lateral orbital sulcus (Figure 1).
Normally the lateral orbital sulcus is continuous with the inferior frontal sulcus and serves as the anterior boundary in more inferior slices (Figure 1 and Figure 6).
Since the inferior frontal sulcus is not clearly defined in the axial slices of this region, the cortical object model must be used to distinguish this geometric line (Figure 8 and Figure 9).

 Brain - MSN Encarta
The central sulcus, or Rolandic fissure, runs from the middle of the top of each hemisphere downward, forward, and toward another major sulcus, the lateral (“side”), or Sylvian, 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.

Determine the boundary of the occipital lobe on the lateral surface – a line drawn from the tip of the parieto-occipital sulcus, past the end of the lateral sulcus to the notch (approximately 5 cm from the occipital pole) caused by the cerebellum.

The most medial and dorsal section of the superior frontal sulcus is the medial boundary of the DLFC while the frontomarginal sulcus is the lateral boundary (Figure 1).
As you move posteriorly, the superior limit of the lateral orbital sulcus becomes the lateral boundary (Figure 2).
When the lateral orbital sulcus is no longer visible and the orbital gyrus and precentral gyrus appear, the superior segment of the circular insular sulcus then becomes the medial and inferior boundary while the inferior precentral sulcus becomes the lateral and inferior boundary (Figure 3).

It begins inferiorly on the inferior surface of the cerebral hemispheres as a deep furrow and extends posteriorly, seperating the frontal and temporal lobes.posteriorly, the lateral sulcus seperates partly the parietal and frontal lobes.
The central sulcus is an important landmark of the cerebral cortex because the motor cortex (pre-central gyrus) lies anterior to it and the general sensory cortex (post-central gyrus) lies posterior to it.
Their lateral and superior surfaces extend posterior to the coronal sulcus.the basal surfaces of the frontal lobes rest on the orbital parts of the frontal bone in the anterior cranial fossa.

 Deep Lateral Femoral Notch Sign
The increased depth of the lateral femoral sulcus in patients with an ACL tear is due to impacted fracture, similar to a Hill-Sachs lesion of the humerus.
This impaction occurs when the tibia becomes displaced anteriorly and the lateral femoral sulcus pushes against the posterior rim of the tibial plateau, causing an indentation in the femoral condyle.
Abnormally increased depth is known as the deep lateral femoral notch (sulcus).

 The somatosensory areas of the lateral sulcus
The somatotopic organization of the second somatosensory area (SII) and the parietal ventral area (PV) on the upper bank and parietal operculum of the lateral sulcus of the macaque monkey, as described by Krubitzer et al., [1995].
The lateralmost portion of the sulcus is adjacent to anterior parietal fields 3b, 1, and 2; and the medialmost portion is adjacent to the insula.
The structure of the somatosensory areas of the lateral sulcus suggest at least two separate mappings of the body surface in a number of species, including man. The functional significance of these two different fields is more contentious, partly due to the reasonably recent nature of their discovery.
