Lateral sulcus
Lateral sulcus and operculum
The lateral sulcus - also called fissura sylvii , sylvic fissure , sylvic furrow or fissura lateralis - is an extensive lateral fissure of the brain .
It was first described by Franciscus de la Boe Sylvius in 1641 , which is why it is sometimes referred to as Fissura Sylvii in clinical usage .
It separates the parietal from the temporal lobe . It can be found in both hemispheres, but longer in the left one. The operculum is up to her; in its depth is the island bark . It contains the transverse temporal gyri , which are part of the auditory cortex . The formation of the fissura Sylvii in humans already takes place in the 14th week of pregnancy . So it belongs next to u. a. the longitudinal fissure to the earliest developing sulci.
