Subparietal Sulcus
The Subparietal Sulcus is a brain structure located in the parietal lobe. It is a significant part of the human brain anatomy and plays a crucial role in various cognitive functions.
Etymology[edit]
The term "Subparietal Sulcus" is derived from Latin. "Sub" means under, "parietal" refers to the wall, and "sulcus" means groove. Therefore, the term can be translated as "the groove under the wall", which describes its location and appearance in the brain.
Anatomy[edit]
The Subparietal Sulcus is situated in the upper part of the parietal lobe, posterior to the postcentral sulcus, and anterior to the parietooccipital sulcus. It is a continuation of the cingulate sulcus, and it separates the precuneus from the superior parietal lobule.
Function[edit]
The exact function of the Subparietal Sulcus is not fully understood. However, it is believed to be involved in various cognitive functions, including spatial orientation, attention, and the processing of sensory information.
