fusiform gyrus
Gyrus of the temporal and occipital lobes of the brain
angular gyrus
Region of the brain
postcentral gyrus
part of the brain
parahippocampal gyrus
Grey matter region surrounding the hippocampus
supramarginal gyrus
It’s the part of the brain that is used for language and sensory
superior temporal gyrus

inferior frontal gyrus
part of the brain's prefrontal cortex
dentate gyrus
part of a brain region known as the hippocampus which is part of the hippocampal formation
precuneus
In neuroanatomy, the precuneus is the portion of the superior parietal lobule on the medial surface of each brain hemisphere. It is located in front of the cuneus (the upper portion of the occipital lobe). The precuneus is bounded in front by the marginal branch of the cingulate sulcus, at the rear by the parieto-occipital sulcus, and underneath by the subparietal sulcus. It is involved with episodic memory, visuospatial processing, reflections upon self, and aspects of consciousness.
precentral gyrus
motor gyrus of the posterior frontal lobe of the brain
superior frontal gyrus
part of the brain
cuneus
The cuneus (; : cunei) is a smaller lobe in the occipital lobe of the brain. The cuneus is bounded anteriorly by the parieto-occipital sulcus and inferiorly by the calcarine sulcus.
Transverse temporal gyrus
Gyrus of the primary auditory cortex of the brain
inferior temporal gyrus
One of three gyri of the temporal lobe of the brain
straight gyrus
Region of the brain
paracentral lobule
part of the brain
uncus
The uncus is an anterior extremity of the parahippocampal gyrus. It is separated from the apex of the temporal lobe by a sulcus called the rhinal sulcus. Although superficially continuous with the hippocampal gyrus, the uncus forms morphologically a part of the rhinencephalon.
inferior parietal lobule
portion of the parietal lobe of the brain
middle frontal gyrus
part of the brain's frontal lobe
superior parietal lobule
bounded in front by the upper part of the postcentral sulcus
lingual gyrus
brain structure
Orbital gyri
Brain regions
middle temporal gyrus
One of three gyri of the temporal lobe of the brain
posterior cingulate
Caudal part of the cingulate cortex of the brain
gyrification
thumb|400px|Gyrification in the human brain Gyrification is the process of forming the characteristic folds of the cerebral cortex. The peak of such a fold is called a gyrus (pl. gyri), and its trough is called a sulcus (pl. sulci). The neurons of the cerebral cortex reside in a thin layer of gray matter, only 2–4 mm thick, at the surface of the brain. Much of the interior volume is occupied by white matter, which consists of long axonal projections to and from the cortical neurons residing near the surface. Gyrification allows a larger cortical surface area, and hence greater cognitive f
