refers to a superficial feature of the medial surface of the cerebral hemisphere identified by dissection. In the human it is a complex branching sulcus located at the junction of the parietal lobe, the occipital lobe, and the limbic lobe ( Ono-1990 ) In the macaque it is a composite sulcus consisting of two parts. The upper part, the subparietal sulcus, partially defines the boundary between the posterior cingulate gyrus of the limbic lobe and the precuneus of the parietal lobe. The lower part is the medial parieto-occipital sulcus, which is located at the junction of the parietal lobe, the occipital lobe, and the limbic lobe ( Martin-2000 ).
Equivalent structures are not found in the smooth cerebral cortex of the rat or mouse ( NeuroNames ).
