Document Summary
Collateral sulcus: the big sulcus that runs from the back of the brain all the way up. Rhinal sulcus: what the collateral sulcus turns into mid-way up (medially) Calcarine sulcus: lays to the right of the collateral sulcus. Inferior temporal sulcus: sits lateral to the rhinal sulcus it is part of the temporal lobe definition and couldn"t be seen before in coronal sections since it is on the ventral side of the brain. If you place your palms together and spread your wrists outward, the outline of your pinky on your right hand would be equivalent the calcarine sulcus, and the outline of your right ring finger would be your collateral sulcus. Hippocampus: thin little worm like structure that is tucked inside the parahippocampal gyrus. Amygdala: most medial part, tucked inside the uncus the distinctive buldge underneath the parahippocampal gyrus, slice it right in half and you"ll find the amygdala.
