Fossa of the Greater Brain Lateral [Fossa Lateralis Cerebri, Pna; Fossa Cerebri lateralis (Sylvii), Bna; Syn. Silvieva Yamk]

Lateral fossa cerebri [fossa lateralis cerebri, pna; fossa cerebri lateralis (sylvii), bna; syn. Sylvian fossa] - a depression between the frontal and temporal lobes of the cerebrum, in the bottom region of which the insula is located. Lateral fossa cerebri [fossa lateralis cerebri, pna; fossa cerebri lateralis (sylvii), bna; syn. Sylvian fossa] - a depression between the frontal and temporal lobes of the cerebrum, in the bottom region of which the insula is located.

**Syn.: Sylvian fossa**

The cerebral fossa **lateral** (lat. fossa lateralis) is a depression between the **frontal** and temporal lobes of the cerebrum**, in the area of ​​the **bottom** of which there is an island resembling an inverted onion or “Latin I” " It is also called lat. - **Sylvili fossa**.

Deep **retraction from the sides and below the brain surface** in the posterior direction. Along the anterior wall it is fused with the perpendicular gyrus, and along the posterior wall with adjacent areas of the hemispheres, the basis for which is a ridge running along the lateral and medial fissures of the brain and the subglottic protrusion. It contains the islet (insula), which is one of the parts of the nervous system. The insula serves as a center for coordination of movements, takes part in the olfactory function, and also suppresses appetite.

Neuroscience is not without a certain amount of humor. For example, now we call the dimple on the back of the hand “palmistry,” although it all began with palmistry. We are talking about a person’s ability to understand the structure of his own hand: parts of the fingers correspond to the same part of the brain.
