supramarginal gyrus in dogs

Component of the parietal lobe. The first coronal slice between the superior temporal gyrus and the postcentral gyrus where the supramarginal gyrus appears was the rostral boundary whereas the slice where the supramarginal gyrus becomes continuous with the superior parietal gyrus was the caudal boundary. The medial and lateral boundaries were the lateral banks of the intraparietal sulcus and the medial banks of the lateral fissure and/or the superior temporal gyrus respectively (Christine Fennema-Notestine). Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the supramarginal gyrus is

Component of the parietal lobe. The first coronal slice between the superior temporal gyrus and the postcentral gyrus where the supramarginal gyrus appears was the rostral boundary whereas the slice where the supramarginal gyrus becomes continuous with the superior parietal gyrus was the caudal boundary. The medial and lateral boundaries were the lateral banks of the intraparietal sulcus and the medial banks of the lateral fissure and/or the superior temporal gyrus respectively (Christine Fennema-Notestine). The atlas records it as a region at the region scale in the dog.

Where the supramarginal gyrus is

It sits within the nervous system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What the supramarginal gyrus connects to

The atlas records 3 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. part of parietal lobe.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the supramarginal gyrus. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as anterior part of inferior parietal lobule, inferior parietal lobule (krieg), BA40, Brodmann area 40 and gyrus supramarginalis. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the supramarginal gyrus?

It sits within the nervous system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What does the supramarginal gyrus connect to?

Part of: parietal lobe.

Is the supramarginal gyrus the same in other species?

This page describes the dog. The human record of the same structure sits beside it on /compare, over one shared model rather than two atlases built separately.
