temporal operculum

temporal operculum (OPRtm)

The term temporal operculum (OPRtm) refers to the part of the superior temporal gyrus (STG) that overlies the ventral portion of the insula (INS) in the human ( Roberts-1970 ) and the macaque ( Pandya-1973 ). Identified by dissection, it is separated from the INS byThe inferior limiting sulcus (ilms) ( Ture-1999 ).deep in the lateral fissure (ltf). It is not found in the smooth cortex of the rat and mouse ( NeuroNames )..Updated 9 Aug 2024.
