What sulcus separates the primary motor cortex fron the primary sensory cortex?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
The central sulcus is a fold in the cerebral cortex of brains in vertebrates. Also called the central fissure, it was originally called the fissure of Rolando or the Rolandic fissure, after Luigi Rolando.
The central sulcus is a prominent landmark of the brain, separating the parietal lobe from the frontal lobe and the primary motor cortex from the primary somatosensory cortex.

Central sulcus separates which lobes?
it seperates the parietal from the frontal lobe, also it seperates the primary motor lobe from the primary somatosensory cortex.
What is the depression or groove in the surface of the cerebral cortex?
If you're referring to the cortex of bone, that would be trabeculae.
The cortex inferior to the lateral sulcus is the?
temporal lobe
The motor cortex sits just posterior of the central fissure in the frontal lobes whereas the somatosensory cortex sits next to the central fissure in the parietal lobes of the cerebral cortex?
Wrong. The motor cortex is the prominent gyrus that is ancterior to the central sulcus. The Somatosensory cortex is the prominent gyrus that is posterior to the central sulcus.
Where are the sensory and motor cortex located?
The motor cortex is in the frontal lobe of the brain whilst the sensory cortex is in the parietal lobe. Another main difference is that the motor cortex controls movements of fine and gross motor skills whereas the sensory cortex controls feelings of touch and sensation.
What area is posterior to the central sulcus?
Postcentral gyrus, or the parietal lobe [Edit: The postcentral gyrus is posterior to the central sulcus, not anterior. The primary motor cortex is located directly anterior to the central sulcus.]
Central sulcus separates which lobes?
it seperates the parietal from the frontal lobe, also it seperates the primary motor lobe from the primary somatosensory cortex.
What is the depression or groove in the surface of the cerebral cortex?
If you're referring to the cortex of bone, that would be trabeculae.
Where is the insular cortex?
The insular cortex (abbrev. insula) is a structure of the human brain. It lies deep to the brain's lateral surface, within the lateral sulcus which separates the temporal lobe and inferior parietal cortex.
A fold in the cerebral cortex?
Sulcus
The cortex inferior to the lateral sulcus is the?
temporal lobe
A shallow groove on the surface of the cortex is called a?
sulcus
What separates the lateral ventricles?
Anterior and Posterior Interventricular Sulcus. Sulcus meaning "groove" .
What is the medical term meaning cerebal cortex folds?
Sulci (singular sulcus) are the folds of the cerebral cortex.
Why would there be no deficit in sensory function after a left frontal bleed?
You have motor area in front of the central sulcus. You have sensory area behind the central sulcus. So in this type of bleeding the sensory area is not affected.
The motor cortex sits just posterior of the central fissure in the frontal lobes whereas the somatosensory cortex sits next to the central fissure in the parietal lobes of the cerebral cortex?
Wrong. The motor cortex is the prominent gyrus that is ancterior to the central sulcus. The Somatosensory cortex is the prominent gyrus that is posterior to the central sulcus.
What separates the precentral and postcentral gyrus?
the central sulcus!
