Exploration of the brain from its lateral aspect
General lateral view of brain
The arachnoid membrane is intact. Note that the great anastomotic vein (of Trolard) (31) lies along the postcentral sulcus instead of the central sulcus as it commonly does. The identity of the anterior central gyrus (motor area) was determined histologically.
- Central sulcus (of Rolando)
- Postcentral gyrus
- Superior frontal sulcus
- Precentral gyrus
- Artery of central sulcus (branch middle cerebral artery)
- Precentral sulcus (inferior part)
- Inferior frontal sulcus
- Superior frontal gyrus
- Medial frontal gyrus
- Inferior frontal gyrus
- Frontal pole
- Artery of precentral sulcus (branch middle cerebral artery)
- Anterior ascending branch of lateral cerebral fissure and triangular part of inferior frontal gyrus
- Anterior horizontal branch lateral cerebral fissure and orbital part inferior frontal gyri
- Operculum of inferior frontal gyrus
- Orbital gyrus
- Olfactory bulb
- Posterior branch of lateral cerebral fissure, middle cerebral vein and superior temporal gyrus
- Temporal pole
- Superior temporal sulcus and medial temporal gyrus
- Temporal branches of middle cerebral artery
- Middle temporal sulcus and inferior temporal gyrus

- Superior cerebral veins
- Superior parietal lobule
- Inferior parietal lobule
- Interparietal sulcus
- Postcentral sulcus
- Supramarginal gyrus (lower part of inferior parietal lobule)
- Great anastomotic vein (of Trolard)
- Angular gyrus (lower part of inferior parietal lobule)
- Posterior parietal artery (branch middle cerebral artery)
- Lateral occipital gyri
- Small anastomotic vein (of Labbé)
- Occipital pole
- Inferior cerebral veins (lateral occipital veins)
- Superior cerebellar vein
- Transverse fissure
- Pons
