posterior subcentral limb of the lateral fissure

posterior subcentral limb of the lateral fissure (ltfpsc)

The term posterior subcentral limb of the lateral fissure (ltfpsc) refers to a superficial feature of the parietal lobe (PLB) in the human ( Ture-1999 ). Identified by dissection, it is a branch from the lateral fissure (ltf) into the postcentral gyrus (POG) between the central sulcus (cns) and the postcentral sulcus (pocs) ( Ono-1990 ). Branches from the ltf are not found in the macaque, nor is the ltf itself found in the smooth cerebral cortex (CTX) of the rat or mouse ( NeuroNames ). Updated 1 Sep 2024.

Also known as: Sulcus subcentralis posterior, posterior subcentral sulcus, posterior subcentral limb of the lateral fissure

Models Where It Appears

Structural CNS Model - Macaque

Brain structures of the macaque are illustrated in BrainInfo’s NeuroMaps macaque brain atlas. Structures are grouped by proximity in a hierarchy corresponding to the central nervous system hierarchy of NeuroNames ( Bowden-1995 Martin-2000 ). Structures in the NeuroMaps atlas are based on the segmentation of an MRI of the brain of a 3-year old male rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta). The atlas is most useful for targeting structures for implantating electrodes and chemtrodes. Updated 29 Oct 2025.
