collateral sulcus - BrainInfo

collateral sulcus (cos)

The term collateral sulcus (cos) refers to a cleft on the mesial aspect of the cerebral hemisphere that separates the lingual gyrus (LNG) of the occipital lobe (OLB) from the fusiform gyrus (FUG) of the temporal lobe (TLB) . Identified by dissection, it is found in the human ( Carpenter-1983 ) and the macaque ( Martin-2000 ). Equivalent structures are not found in the smooth cerebral cortex of the rat or mouse ( NeuroNames ). Updated 22 Aug 2024.

Also known as: collateral sulcus, Sulcus collateralis, collateral fissure

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.
