lunate sulcus of the macaque

lunate sulcus of the macaque (lusm)

The term lunate sulcus of the macaque (lusm) refers to a minor vertical cleft near the occipital pole (ocp) of the occipital lobe (OLB) in the human. It is Identified by dissection ( Duvernoy-1992 ), In many cases it is intersected by the the lateral occipital sulcus (locs), of which some authors consider it a part ( Van Essen Lab-2002 ). It is not topologically equivalent to the lunate sulcus of the human (lush) ( Martin-2000 ). Equivalent structures are not found in the macaque or the smooth cerebral cortex of the rat and mouse ( NeuroNames ). Updated 25 Aug 2024.

Also known as: Sulcus lunatus, lunate sulcus, Sulcus simialis, lunate sulcus of the macaque

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.
