Definition of anatomical landmarks

Landmark Definition
1 Frontal pole
2 Occipital pole
3 Anterior end of the Sylvian fissure (defined on the pars orbitalis in humans)
4 Posterior end of the Sylvian fissure (following the main course of the fissure when the terminal segment is divided)
5 Anterior end of the superior temporal sulcus (close to the temporal pole)
6 Inflection point between the horizontal segment and the ascending segment of the superior temporal sulcus
7 Most posterior and superior point of the superior temporal sulcus (located between the supramarginal gyrus and the angular gyrus)
8 Inferior termination of the central sulcus
9 Superior termination of the central sulcus (intersection between the central sulcus and the midline)
10 In chimpanzees: intersection between the intraparietal sulcus and the lunate sulcus
In humans: intersection between the intraparietal sulcus and the transverse occipital sulcus
11 In chimpanzees: intersection of the lunate sulcus with the midline
In humans: intersection of the parieto-occipital sulcus with the midline
12 In chimpanzees: most inferior and lateral point of the lunate sulcus
In humans: occipital notch
13 Intersection of the inferior frontal sulcus with the precentral sulcus
14 Inferior end of the precentral sulcus
15 In chimpanzees: superior end of the fronto-orbital sulcus
In humans: anterior end of the latero-orbital sulcus
16 In chimpanzees: inferior end of the fronto-orbital sulcus
In humans: posterior end of the latero-orbital sulcus
