  2. 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 ...

  3. Frontal lobe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontal_lobe

    The frontal lobe is the largest lobe of the brain and makes up about a third of the surface area of each hemisphere. [3] On the lateral surface of each hemisphere, the central sulcus separates the frontal lobe from the parietal lobe. The lateral sulcus separates the frontal lobe from the temporal lobe. The frontal lobe can be divided into a ...

  4. Lobes of the brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobes_of_the_brain

    The parietal lobe is positioned above the occipital lobe and behind the frontal lobe and central sulcus.. The parietal lobe integrates sensory information among various modalities, including spatial sense and navigation (proprioception), the main sensory receptive area for the sense of touch (mechanoreception) in the somatosensory cortex which is just posterior to the central sulcus in the ...

  5. Lateral sulcus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_sulcus

    Anatomy. 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. It first appears around the fourteenth gestational week. [1] The insular cortex lies deep within the lateral sulcus.

  6. Central sulcus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_sulcus

    The central sulcus separates the parietal lobe (blue) and the frontal lobe (lime green). In neuroanatomy, the central sulcus (also central fissure, fissure of Rolando, or Rolandic fissure, after Luigi Rolando) is a sulcus, or groove, in the cerebral cortex in the brains of vertebrates. It is sometimes confused with the longitudinal fissure.

  7. Cerebral hemisphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_hemisphere

    The central sulcus is a prominent fissure which separates the parietal lobe from the frontal lobe and the primary motor cortex from the primary somatosensory cortex. Macroscopically the hemispheres are roughly mirror images of each other, with only subtle differences, such as the Yakovlevian torque seen in the human brain , which is a slight ...

  8. Brain asymmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_asymmetry

    The human brain has an overall leftward posterior and rightward anterior asymmetry (or brain torque). There are particularly large asymmetries in the frontal, temporal and occipital lobes, which increase in asymmetry in the antero-posterior direction beginning at the central region. Leftward asymmetry can be seen in the Heschl gyrus, parietal ...

  9. Superior temporal sulcus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_temporal_sulcus

    The STS is located under the lateral fissure, which is the fissure that separates the temporal lobe, parietal lobe, and frontal lobe. [1] The STS has an asymmetric structure between the left and right hemisphere, with the STS being longer in the left hemisphere, but deeper in the right hemisphere. [2]
