The lines where bones meet are called the sutures, In newborns there are also soft spots present that you must be careful not to damage...these are called fontanelles, and will close as the cranium sections grow together.
The two major fontanelles are called the anterior and posterior fontanelles. During infancy, the anterior is also known as the bregma, the point where the frontal and parietal bones meet.
