Gyrus Envelope

The circumflex gyrus is an anatomical element that is located inside the brain. It is part of the parasagittal groove and runs along the crown, temporal region and occipital lobe, bending around it.

The main purpose of the envelope convolutions is to support many brain structures, including the visual analyzer, auditory centers and other organs. It also forms the lateral wall of the sulci and interacts closely with other elements of the brain.

During development and growth, the gyrus develops in the context of the lateral horns and sagittal gyri. Its structure may have individual variations in different people.

Pathologies and diseases of the Circumflex convolutions can cause difficulties with attention, memory and cognitive functions in patients. If you experience these problems, see your doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
