Medial and inferior surfaces of

the Hemisphere
Corpus callosum
 Cingulate gyrus
Begins beneath the anterior end of the corpus
callosum and continues above the corpus
callosum until reaches its posterior end
 Callosal sulcus
• Cingulate gyrus is separated from the corpus
callosum by Callosal Sulcus
 Cingulate sulcus
The cingulate gyrus is separated from the
superior frontal gyrus by cingulate sulcus
 Paracentral lobule
• Area of the cerebral cortex that surrounds the
indentation of central sulcus
 Precuneus
• Area of cortex bounded bu cingulate and
parieto-occipital sulci.
 Cuneus
• Triangular area of cortex.
• Boundaries?
 Collateral Sulcus
• Runs anteriorly below the calcarine sulcus
 Lingual gyrus
• Area between collateral and calcarine sulci
 Parahippocampal Gyrus
• Anterior to lingual gyrus
 Uncus
• Hooklike
 Medial occipitotemporal gyrus
• Extends from the occipital pole to the
temporal pole
 Occipitotemporal Sulcus
• Between medial occipito-temporal and
occipito-temporal sulci
 Occipitotemporal gyrus
• Lateral to Occipitotemporal sulcus
 Inferior surface
• Olfactory sulcus
• Gyrus rectus
• Orbital gyri
