		This inferior parietal lobule is composed of the ANGULAR GYRUS and the SUPRAMARGINAL GYRUS.
		Inferior to the calcarine sulcus is the LINGUAL gyrus.

		The posterior central gyrus (gyrus centralis posterior; ascending parietal convolution; postcentral gyre) extends from the longitudinal fissure above to the posterior ramus of the lateral fissure below.
		The lingual gyrus lies between the calcarine fissure and the posterior part of the collateral fissure; behind, it reaches the occipital pole; in front, it is continued on to the tentorial surface of the temporal lobe, and joins the hippocampal gyrus.
		The tentorial surface of the occipital lobe is limited in front by an imaginary transverse line through the preoccipital notch, and consists of the posterior part of the fusiform gyrus (occipitotemporal convolution) and the lower part of the lingual gyrus, which are separated from each other by the posterior segment of the collateral fissure.

		They are transmitted from one neuron to another from the ganglion spirale, the nuclei of insertion of the acustic nerve, the nuclei of the trapezoid body, the superior olive, the lateral fillet and the nucleus of the lateral fillet, the posterior quadrigeminates, the medial geniculate body, and thus to the cortex.
		Consciousness of olfactory images probably occurs as a result of the activity of the cells of the cortex of the gyrus cinguli and hippocampal gyrus with the neighboring cortical areas, while the other neuron groups mentioned are chiefly concerned with relating the somatic and visceral activities of the body in answer to the olfactory impulses.
		This tract extends from the superior lobule of the occipital lobe to the inferior gyrus of the occipital lobe and the middle and inferior temporal lobes, and to the fusiform gyrus.

		The cortical mantle is highly convoluted; the crest of a single convolution is known as a gyrus, while the fissure between two gyri is known as a sulcus.
		The precentral gyrus, located rostral to the central sulcus, constitutes the primary motor region of the brain; when parts of this gyrus are given electrical stimulation in conscious patients (operated upon under local anesthesia), they produce localized movements on the opposite side of the body that are interpreted by the patients as voluntary.
		The parietal lobe, posterior to the central sulcus, is divided into three parts: (1) a postcentral gyrus, (2) a superior parietal lobule, and (3) an inferior parietal lobule.

		The thalamocortical axons ascend through the posterior limb of the internal capsule on their way to terminate in the somatosensory cortex in the postcentral gyrus in the parietal lobe.
		Thalamocortical axons also terminate in the secondary somatosensory cortex (SII), which is located in the inferior portion of the postcentral gyrus as well as the nearby insular cortex (Willis and Westlund, 1997).
		Large lesions of the postcentral gyrus do not eliminate the perception of pain, although the ability to localize a painful stimulus is diminished.
