  2. Lateral sulcus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_sulcus

    The lateral sulcus (or lateral fissure, also called Sylvian fissure, after Franciscus Sylvius) is the most prominent sulcus of each cerebral hemisphere in the human brain. The lateral sulcus is a deep fissure in each hemisphere that separates the frontal and parietal lobes from the temporal lobe. The insular cortex lies deep within the lateral ...

  3. Sylvian point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylvian_point

    The Sylvian point is the point on the human skull nearest the Sylvian fissure and is located about 30 millimeters behind the zygomatic process of frontal bone. It is the name given to the stem of the lateral sulcus of the brain.

  4. Middle cerebral veins - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_cerebral_veins

    The superficial middle cerebral vein (superficial Sylvian vein) begins on the lateral surface of the hemisphere. It runs along the lateral sulcus [1] to empty into either the cavernous sinus, [1] [2] or sphenoparietal sinus. [1] It is adherent to the deep surface of the arachnoid mater bridging the lateral sulcus. It drains the adjacent cortex. [2]

  5. Inferior parietal lobule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferior_parietal_lobule

    The inferior parietal lobule (subparietal district) lies below the horizontal portion of the intraparietal sulcus, and behind the lower part of the postcentral sulcus.Also known as Geschwind's territory after Norman Geschwind, an American neurologist, who in the early 1960s recognised its importance. [1]

  6. Temporoparietal junction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporoparietal_junction

    The temporoparietal junction (TPJ) is an area of the brain where the temporal and parietal lobes meet, at the posterior end of the lateral sulcus (Sylvian fissure). The TPJ incorporates information from the thalamus and the limbic system as well as from the visual, auditory, and somatosensory systems. The TPJ also integrates information from ...

  7. Cistern of lateral cerebral fossa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cistern_of_lateral...

    The cistern of lateral cerebral fossa [1] (also cistern of the lateral sulcus, or Sylvian cistern [2]) is an elongated [3] subarachnoid cistern formed by arachnoid mater bridging the lateral sulcus between the frontal, temporal, and parietal opercula.

  8. Sulcus (morphology) - Wikipedia

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

    In biological morphology and anatomy, a sulcus (pl.: sulci) is a furrow or fissure (Latin fissura, pl.: fissurae). It may be a groove, natural division, deep furrow, elongated cleft, or tear in the surface of a limb or an organ, most notably on the surface of the brain , but also in the lungs , certain muscles (including the heart ), as well as ...

  9. Inferior frontal gyrus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferior_frontal_gyrus

    The pars opercularis acts indirectly through the motor cortex to control the motor aspect of speech production, and codes motor programs for this system, while the auditory cortex (via the temporoparietal junction in the lateral sulcus (Sylvian fissure) houses a series of sensory targets. Together, these areas function as a sensory-motor loop ...
