| superior temporal sulcus | The longitudinal sulcus that separates the superior and middle temporal gyri. Synonym: sulcus temporalis superior, superior temporal fissure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior temporal sulcus | The sulcus on the basal aspect of the temporal lobe that separates the fusiform gyrus from the inferior temporal gyrus on its lateral side. Synonym: sulcus temporalis inferior, Clevenger's fissure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus for transverse sinus | The groove on the inner surface of the occipital bone marking the course of the transverse sinus; the tentorium is attached to its margins. Synonym: sulcus sinus transversi, sulcus for transverse sinus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transverse occipital sulcus | The posterior, vertical limb of the intraparietal sulcus. Synonym: sulcus occipitalis transversus. (05 Mar 2000) |
