| inferior frontal convolution | A broad convolution on the convexity of the frontal lobe of the cerebrum between the inferior frontal sulcus and the sylvian fissure; divided by branches of the sylvian fissure into three parts: pars (opercularis) basilaris, triangular part, and orbital part; the first two constitute a portion of the frontal operculum. Synonym: gyrus frontalis inferior, inferior frontal convolution. (05 Mar 2000) |

| inferior temporal convolution | A sagittal convolution on the inferolateral border of the temporal lobe of the cerebrum, separated from the middle temporal gyrus by the inferior temporal sulcus. On the inferior surface of the temporal lobe it is separated from the medial occipitotemporal gyrus by the occipitotemporal sulcus. It includes the lateral occipitotemporal gyrus. Synonym: gyrus temporalis inferior, inferior temporal convolution, third temporal convolution. (05 Mar 2000) |
| third temporal convolution | A sagittal convolution on the inferolateral border of the temporal lobe of the cerebrum, separated from the middle temporal gyrus by the inferior temporal sulcus. On the inferior surface of the temporal lobe it is separated from the medial occipitotemporal gyrus by the occipitotemporal sulcus. It includes the lateral occipitotemporal gyrus. Synonym: gyrus temporalis inferior, inferior temporal convolution, third temporal convolution. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transitional convolution | A small convolution connecting two lobes or two main gyri in the depth of a sulcus. Synonym: annectent gyrus, transitional convolution. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Zuckerkandl's convolution | A slender vertical whitish band immediately anterior to the lamina terminalis and anterior commissure; contrary to its name, it is not a cortical convolution but is the ventral continuation of the transparent septum. Synonym: area subcallosa, gyrus paraterminalis, gyrus subcallosus, pedunculus corporis callosi, corpus paraterminale, paraterminal body, paraterminal gyrus, peduncle of corpus callosum, precommissural septal area, subcallosal area, Zuckerkandl's convolution. (05 Mar 2000) |
| first temporal convolution | A longitudinal gyrus on the lateral surface of the temporal lobe between the lateral (sylvian) fissure and the superior temporal sulcus. Synonym: gyrus temporalis superior, first temporal convolution, superior temporal convolution. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior part of anterior commissure of brain | The anterior part of the anterior or rostral commissure of the brain. Synonym: pars anterior commissurae rostralis, pars anterior commissurae anterioris cerebri. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ala central lobule | The lateral winglike projection of the central lobule of the cerebellum. Synonym: ala lobuli centralis, ala cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterolateral central arteries | Numerous small branches from the sphenoidal part of the middle cerebral arteries supplying the lateral and anterior parts of the corpus striatum. Synonym: arteriae centrales anterolaterales, arteriae thalamostriatae anterolaterales, anterolateral central arteries, anterolateral striate arteries, anterolateral thalamostriate arteries, arteries of cerebral haemorrhage, lenticulostriate arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anteromedial central arteries | Several small branches of the precommunical part of the anterior cerebral artery; they are distributed to the anteromedial part of the corpus striatum part of the thalamus. Synonym: arteriae centrales anteromediales, arteriae thalamostriatae anteromediales, anteromedial thalamostriate arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anteromedial central branches | Branches of the anterior communicating artery which supply part of the hypothalamus. Synonym: rami centrales anteromediales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| artery of central sulcus | <anatomy, artery> A branch of the terminal part of the middle cerebral artery distributed to the cortex on either side of the central sulcus. Synonym: arteria sulci centralis, artery of central sulcus, central artery, Rolandic artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| asia, central | The geographical area of asia comprising kazakhstan, kyrgyzstan, tajikistan, turkmenistan, and uzbekistan. The desert region of kara kum (qara qum) is largely in turkmenistan and the desert region of kyzyl kum (kizil kum or qizil qum), is in uzbekistan and kazakhstan. (12 Dec 1998) |
| auditory diseases, central | Diseases of the auditory pathways from the bulbar cochlear nuclei to the auditory cortex in the temporal lobe. Structures involved include the medial and lateral lemnisci, inferior colliculus, and the medial geniculate nucleus. (12 Dec 1998) |
