The fusiform gyrus, also known as the lateral occipitotemporal gyrus, [1] [2] is part of the temporal lobe and occipital lobe in Brodmann area 37. [3] The fusiform gyrus is located between the lingual gyrus and parahippocampal gyrus above, and the inferior temporal gyrus below. [ 4 ]
The lingual gyrus is a structure in the visual cortex that plays an important role in the identification and recognition of words. [12] Studies have implicated the lingual gyrus as being involved in modulating visual stimuli (especially letters) but not whether or not the stimulus was a word. Further, the gyrus is related to the naming of stimuli.
Diagram of gyri of brain viewed on lateral hemisphere. Occipital gyri shown lower right. The border between the occipital lobe and the parietal and temporal lobes is characterized by different gyri: the superior occipital gyrus (also known as gyrus occipitalis superior), middle occipital gyrus (or gyrus occipitalis medius), inferior occipital gyrus (or gyrus occipitalis inferior), and ...
It contains the fusiform gyrus which in turn contains the fusiform face area, an area important for the recognition of faces. This area is also known as occipitotemporal area 37 (H) . It is a subdivision of the cytoarchitecturally defined temporal region of cerebral cortex .
Middle temporal gyrus is a gyrus in the brain on the temporal lobe. It is located between the superior temporal gyrus and inferior temporal gyrus. It corresponds largely to Brodmann area 21. The middle temporal gyrus is bounded by: the superior temporal sulcus above; the inferior temporal sulcus below;
In the occipital lobe, the lateral occipital sulcus, where present, divides the lateral, or middle occipital gyrus into a superior and an inferior part, which are then continuous in front with the parietal and temporal lobes.
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 occipitotemporal sulcus, also known as the lateral occipitotemporal sulcus [2] 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.
