In neuroanatomy, the lateral sulcus (also called Sylvian fissure, after Franciscus Sylvius, or lateral fissure) is one of the most prominent features of the human brain. The lateral sulcus is a deep fissure in each hemisphere that separates the frontal and parietal lobes from the temporal lobe.
Aug 28, 2023 · The Sylvian fissure is the most consistent and distinct landmark of the lateral hemispheric surface of the brain. [1] It is formed by the anatomical relationship between the frontoparietal operculum, the temporal operculum, and the insula.
Apr 12, 2023 · The Sylvian fissure, also known as the lateral sulcus or fissure, begins near the basal forebrain and extends to the lateral surface of the brain separating the frontal and parietal lobes superiorly from the temporal lobe inferiorly 3. The insula is located immediately deep to the Sylvian fissure.
Mar 12, 2024 · The lateral sulcus, also known as Sylvian fissure, is a very deep fold seen on the lateral surface of the cerebral hemisphere running in an anteroposterior direction. It is one of the major sulci of the brain and separates the temporal lobe from the frontal and parietal lobes.
Apr 29, 2023 · The sylvian fissure (SyF) is the most prominent and complex fissure of the brain, promptly identifiable at the superolateral face of the brain, and harbors its underlying Sylvian cistern (SyC).
Dec 24, 2020 · The Sylvian fissure (SF), also referred to as the lateral fissure, is a very important anatomical landmark, that is located between the frontal and temporal lobes on the lateral surface of each hemisphere.
Apr 29, 2023 · The Sylvian corridor comprises the sylvian fissure and cistern. It’s the largest, most constant surgical landmark in the lateral surface of the brain. Its dissection allows separation of the fronto-parieto-temporal opercula and an easier access to the insula...
Aug 28, 2023 · The Sylvian fissure is the most consistent and distinct landmark of the lateral hemispheric surface of the brain. It is formed by the anatomical relationship between the frontoparietal operculum, the temporal operculum, and the insula.
The Sylvian fissure (Fig. 1a, c ), the second sulcus to appear during ontogenesis, is a very deep and broad sulcus. It is easy to identify, moving across the brain from the bottom toward the top as following an antero–posterior course.
The Sylvian fissure, also known as the lateral sulcus or lateral fissure, is named after Franciscus Sylvius (1614–72), a 17th century physician, anatomist, and chemist who is credited with its identification.
