transverse temporal limb of the lateral fissure (ltftt)

The term transverse temporal limb of the lateral fissure (ltftt) refers to a short branch from the lateral fissure (ltf) into the superior temporal gyrus (STG) of the human ( Duvernoy-1992 ). Identified by dissection, it marks the boundary between the planum temporale (PTE) and the transverse temporal gyrus (TGG). It is not found in the macaque nor in the smooth cerebral cortex (CTX) of the rat and mouse ( NeuroNames ). Updated 27 Aug 2024.

Also known as: Sulci temporales transversi, transverse temporal sulcus, transverse temporal limb of the lateral fissure
