The buccal fat pad (also called Bichat’s fat pad, after Xavier Bichat, and the buccal pad of fat) is one of several encapsulated fat masses in the cheek. It is a deep fat pad located on either side of the face between the buccinator muscle and several more superficial muscles (including the masseter, the zygomaticus major, and the zygomaticus minor).

Clevenger's fissure: found in the inferior temporal lobe of the brain; Collateral fissure: found in the inferior surface of the cerebrum. Fissure of Bichat: found below the corpus callosum in the cerebellum of the brain. Lateral sulcus or Fissure of Sylvius: separates the frontal and parietal lobes of the brain from the temporal lobe.
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 ...
In neuroanatomy, a sulcus (Latin: "furrow"; pl.: sulci) is a shallow depression or groove in the cerebral cortex.One or more sulci surround a gyrus (pl. gyri), a ridge on the surface of the cortex, creating the characteristic folded appearance of the brain in humans and most other mammals.
Marie François Xavier Bichat (/ b iː ˈ ʃ ɑː /; [3] French:; 14 November 1771 – 22 July 1802) [4] was a French anatomist and pathologist, known as the father of modern histology. [ 5 ] [ a ] Although he worked without a microscope , Bichat distinguished 21 types of elementary tissues from which the organs of the human body are composed ...
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 ...
Perisylvian syndrome is a rare neurological disease characterized by damage to the sylvian fissure (lateral sulcus), an area in the brain involved in language and speech. . The main symptoms are difficulty chewing and swallowing, low muscle tone in the face and tongue, speech and language development disorders, and epile
Cerebral hemispheres of a human embryo at 8 weeks. Perceptual information is processed in both hemispheres, but is laterally partitioned: information from each side of the body is sent to the opposite hemisphere (visual information is partitioned somewhat differently, but still lateralized). Similarly, motor control signals sent out to the body ...
