  2. Sulcus (morphology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulcus_(morphology)

    Lateral sulcus or Fissure of Sylvius: separates the frontal and parietal lobes of the brain from the temporal lobe. Hippocampal sulcus: a sulcus that extends from the brain's corpus callosum to the tip of the temporal lobe. Horizontal fissure or Transverse fissure: found between the cerebrum and the cerebellum. Note that a "transverse fissure ...

  3. Sulcus (neuroanatomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulcus_(neuroanatomy)

    The sulci and fissures are shallow and deep grooves respectively in the cortex, that organise the brain into its regions. [2] A sulcus is a shallow groove that surrounds a gyrus or part of a gyrus. A fissure is a deeper furrow that divides the brain into lobes, and also into the two hemispheres as the longitudinal fissure. [4]

    It then becomes a distinct invagination that lengthens towards the lateral sulcus and towards the longitudinal fissure [4] at approximately 22 to 23 weeks of gestational age. [ 5 ] Between 2 and 3 years of age, the landmark ‘Pli de Passage Frontoparietal Moyen’ (PPFM), which is a depression buried at the central part of the central sulcus ...

  5. Cerebral hemisphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_hemisphere

    The vertebrate cerebrum is formed by two cerebral hemispheres that are separated by a groove, the longitudinal fissure. The brain can thus be described as being divided into left and right cerebral hemispheres. Each of these hemispheres has an outer layer of grey matter, the cerebral cortex, that is supported by an inner layer of white matter.

  6. Transverse occipital sulcus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transverse_occipital_sulcus

    The transverse occipital sulcus is a sulcus in the occipital lobe. 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 parietooccipital fissure .

  7. 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 ...

  8. Longitudinal fissure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longitudinal_fissure

    The longitudinal fissure (or cerebral fissure, great longitudinal fissure, median longitudinal fissure, interhemispheric fissure) is the deep groove that separates the two cerebral hemispheres of the vertebrate brain. Lying within it is a continuation of the dura mater (one of the meninges) called the falx cerebri. [1]

  9. Transverse fissure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transverse_fissure

    Transverse fissure can refer to: Porta hepatis or transverse fissure of liver; Horizontal fissure of right lung (or 'horizontal fissure') Horizontal fissure of cerebellum
