lateral inferior limiting sulcus

lateral inferior limiting sulcus (lils)

The term lateral inferior limiting sulcus refers to a branch of the inferior limiting sulcus that extends laterally from the insula into the inner surface of the superior temporal gyrus. It is a topological feature of the temporal lobe found in the macaque ( Mesulam-1984 ). It is not found in the human ( Ture-1999 ) or the rodent ( NeuroNames ).

Citation:

NeuroNames is used as a term's source if no published source of the term has been found. In most cases, the term is an English translation of a commonly used Latin term. In some cases it is a Latin translation of an English term for which no published Latin equivalent has been found. Latin roots of words not found in the neuroanatomical literature are derived from Cassell's Latin Dictionary (Simpson-59).

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.
