horizontal dimple - BrainInfo

horizontal dimple (icgd)

The term horizontal dimple refers to a short depression in the cingulate gyrus of the limbic lobe. Identified by dissection it is found in the anterior cingulate gyrus of the human ( Vogt-1995 ). In the macaque it appears in the posterior cingulate gyrus ( Martin-2000 ). It is not found in the smooth cerebral cortex of the rat or mouse ( NeuroNames ).

Also known as: intracingulate sulcus, Sulcus intracinguli, horizontal dimple

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.
