Inferior temporal sulcus information


Inferior temporal sulcus
Medial surface of left cerebral hemisphere. The picture shows a special definition of "inferior temporal sulcus" (in red), which is more commonly known as the occipitotemporal sulcus.[1] In this special definition, the commonly known inferior temporal sulcus is labelled as "middle temporal sulcus".[2]

The inferior surface of the temporal lobe is concave, and is continuous posteriorly with the tentorial surface of the occipital lobe. It is traversed by the inferior temporal sulcus, which extends from near the occipital pole behind, to within a short distance of the temporal pole in front, but is frequently subdivided by bridging gyri.
