The lateral sulcus has a number of side branches.

In the depth of the lateral sulcus it borders on the insula.

Below the lateral sulcus is the temporal lobe.

The lateral sulcus is one of the earliest-developing sulci of the human brain.

Also absent was part of a bordering region called the lateral sulcus (Sylvian fissure).

In the rear of the brain, behind the point where the lateral sulcus comes to an end, is the occipital lobe (ok-sip'ih-tal).

The lateral sulcus separates the frontal lobe from the temporal lobe.

It is located in the bank of the lateral sulcus on the dorsal surface of the temporal lobe.

Possibly damage to the lateral sulcus also known as Sylvian fissure may contribute to an individual's deterioration of object recognition.

Behind the central sulcus and above the lateral sulcus is the parietal lobe (puh-ry'ih-tal).

The lateral sulcus also contains the transverse temporal gyri, which are part of the primary and below the surface auditory cortex.

Partly due to a phenomenon called Yakovlevian torque, the lateral sulcus is often longer and less curved on the left hemisphere than on the right.

Ventrally the primary motor cortex is bordered by the insular cortex in the lateral sulcus.

Wernicke's Area is located posterior to the lateral sulcus, typically in the left hemisphere, between the visual, auditory, and somesthetic areas of the cerebral cortex.

It also dives into the lateral sulcus as the transverse temporal gyri (also called Heschl's gyri).

The area that adjoins S1 at the entrance to the lateral sulcus is called the parietal ventral area (PV).

The lateral sulcus (also called Sylvian fissure or lateral fissure) is one of the most prominent structures of the human brain.

It extends from the cingulate sulcus on the medial aspect of the hemisphere to the lateral sulcus on the lateral aspect.

The portion of the cerebral hemisphere lying to the front of the central sulcus and before the point at which the lateral sulcus begins is the frontal lobe.

It is bounded approximately by the intraparietal sulcus, the inferior postcentral sulcus, the posterior subcentral sulcus and the lateral sulcus.

The different sensory association areas coordinate their functioning in a portion of the brain in the neighborhood of the beginning of the lateral sulcus in the left cerebral hemisphere.

The MCA arises from the internal carotid and continues into the lateral sulcus where it then branches and projects to many parts of the lateral cerebral cortex.

The human secondary somatosensory cortex (S2, SII) is a functionally-defined region of cortex in the parietal operculum on the ceiling of the lateral sulcus.

Thus, it is bounded caudally by the inferior precentral sulcus (H) and rostrally by the anterior ascending limb of lateral sulcus (H).

This is responsible for certain asymmetries, such as how the lateral sulcus of the human brain is often longer and less curved on the left side of the brain relative to the right.
