  2. Parietal bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parietal_bone

    In the living tuatara and some lizards, as well as in many fossil tetrapods, a small opening, the parietal foramen (also called the pineal foramen), is present between the two parietal bones at the midline of the skull. This opening is the location of the parietal eye (also called the pineal or third eye), which is much smaller than the two ...

  4. Parietal lobe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parietal_lobe

    Animation. Parietal lobe (red) of left cerebral hemisphere. The parietal lobe is defined by three anatomical boundaries: The central sulcus separates the parietal lobe from the frontal lobe; the parieto-occipital sulcus separates the parietal and occipital lobes; the lateral sulcus (sylvian fissure) is the most lateral boundary, separating it from the temporal lobe; and the longitudinal ...

  5. Parieto-occipital sulcus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parieto-occipital_sulcus

    In neuroanatomy, the parieto-occipital sulcus (also called the parieto-occipital fissure) is a deep sulcus in the cerebral cortex that marks the boundary between the cuneus and precuneus, and also between the parietal and occipital lobes. Only a small part can be seen on the lateral surface of the hemisphere, its chief part being on the medial ...

  6. Lobes of the brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobes_of_the_brain

    The frontal lobe is located at the front of each cerebral hemisphere and positioned in front of the parietal lobe and above and in front of the temporal lobe.It is separated from the parietal lobe by a space between tissues called the central sulcus, and from the temporal lobe by a deep fold called the lateral sulcus, also called the Sylvian fissure.

  7. Frontal lobe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontal_lobe

    The frontal lobe is the largest of the four major lobes of the brain in mammals, and is located at the front of each cerebral hemisphere (in front of the parietal lobe and the temporal lobe). It is parted from the parietal lobe by a groove between tissues called the central sulcus and from the temporal lobe by a deeper groove called the lateral ...

  8. Lateral sulcus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_sulcus

    The lateral sulcus divides both the frontal lobe and parietal lobe above from the temporal lobe below. It is in both hemispheres of the brain. The lateral sulcus is one of the earliest-developing sulci of the human brain, appearing around the fourteenth week of gestational age. [1] The insular cortex lies deep within the lateral sulcus.

  9. Calvaria (skull) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvaria_(skull)

    The calvaria is made up of the superior portions of the frontal bone, occipital bone, and parietal bones. [1] In the human skull , the sutures between the bones normally remain flexible during the first few years of postnatal development, and fontanelles are palpable.
