subcallosal gyrus - BrainInfo

subcallosal gyrus (SCL)

The term subcallosal gyrus (SCL) refers to a rostral part of the limbic lobe (LLB) as defined topologically by dissection in the human ( Carpenter-1983 ). It is located ventral to the rostrum of the corpus callosum (ccr) from which it is separated by the callosal sulcus (cas). It is dorsal to the paraterminal gyrus (PTG) caudally and rostrally to the part of the anterior cingulate gyrus (ACG) that curves around the genu of the corpus callosum (ccg). The SCL is not found in the macaque where the topologically comparable area is classified as part of the the ACG ( Martin-2000 ), Nor is it found in the smooth cerebral cortex (CTX) of the rat and mouse ( Swanson-2004 Franklin-2008 ). Updated 26 Aug 2024.

Also known as: subcallosal area, Area subcallosa, parolfactory area, Area parolfactoria, adolfactory area, Zuckerkandl's gyrus, subcallosal gyrus

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.
