Brain development in the womb is affected by the mother’s level of exposure to air pollution, researchers have found, ...

Medial and lateral lines are drawn starting at the “inflection point” of curvature where the condyles are tallest, which is just proximal to the sulcus terminalis.

These readings come from areas of the brain more involved in synthesizing perceptions toward eventual action (precuneus, lateral sulcus, temporoparietal junction and frontal eye fields).

(A) The right vlFC ROI. Dorsally it included the inferior frontal sulcus and, more posteriorly, it included PMv; anteriorly it was bound by the paracingulate sulcus and ventrally by the lateral ...

The small grooves on the surface of our brain may play a key role in our reasoning. A recent study reveals that their depth ...

The parietal lobe processes sensory information it receives from the outside world, mainly relating to touch, taste, and temperature. Learn more here.

The insular cortex, folded deep within the lateral sulcus of the brain, is known to code for feelings about our own body.

The central sulcus and the lateral sulcus split the brain into its four distinct lobes; frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital lobes.

Broca’s autopsy determined tissue damage, or a “lesion”, in the frontal lobe of Leborgne’s left brain hemisphere, just next to a brain fold called the lateral sulcus.

MONTREAL— With the advent of posterior chamber phakic IOLs, it has become necessary to measure the size of the sulcus to fit the phakic IOL properly. Because direct measurement of the sulcus ...

Higher exposure to black carbon was also linked with a reduction in the depth of a groove in the brain called the lateral sulcus, which the researchers said might suggest less maturation of the brain.

The study results also showed an association between higher exposure to black carbon and a reduction in the depth of the lateral sulcus (also known as the Sylvian fissure), a deep groove that runs ...
