posterior long gyrus (PLG)

The term posterior long gyrus (PLG) refers to one of two long insular gyri identified by dissection in the humans. Its posteroinferior boundary is the inferior limiting sulcus (ilms) ( Ture-1999 ). It is separated, sometimes only partially, from the anterior long gyrus by the postcentral insular sulcus (pois) Crosby-1962; Duvernoy-1992 ). It is found only in humans, not in macaques ( Mufson-1997 ) nor in the smooth cerebral cortex (CTX) of the rat and mouse ( NeuroNames ). Updated 2 Sep 2024. .

Also known as: second posterior central gyrus (human), Gyrus centralis posterior secundus, posterior long gyrus, posterior long insular gyrus, Gyrus insulae, Gyrus insularis
