Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy |
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 surface.
The lateral part of the parieto-occipital sulcus (Fig. 726) is situated about 5 cm in front of the
The medial part of the parieto-occipital sulcus (Fig. 727) runs downward and forward as a deep cleft on the medial surface of the hemisphere, and joins the
Function
The parieto-occipital lobe has been found in various neuroimaging studies, including
