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.
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).

On the basis of function: A limiting sulcus separates at its floor into two areas which are different functionally and structurally e.g. central sulcus between the motor and sensory areas. [2] Axial sulcus develops in the long axis of a rapidly growing homogeneous area e.g. postcalcarine sulcus in the long axis of the striate area.
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 ...
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 .
Tessier number 6 runs from the orbit to the cheek bone. Tessier number 7 is positioned on the line between the corner of the mouth and the ear. A possible lateral cleft comes from the corner of the mouth towards the ear, which gives the impression that the mouth is bigger. It's also possible that the cleft begins at the ear and runs towards the ...
About 5 centimetres (2.0 in) in front of the occipital pole of the human brain, on the infero-lateral border is an indentation or notch, named the preoccipital notch.It is considered a landmark because the occipital lobe is located just behind the line that connects that notch with the parietoccipital sulcus.
The largest and deepest fissure in the cerebellum is named the horizontal fissure (or horizontal sulcus). It commences in front of the pons , and passes horizontally around the free margin of the hemisphere to the middle line behind, and divides the cerebellum into an upper and a lower portion.
