lateral inferior limiting sulcus

lateral inferior limiting sulcus (lils)

The term lateral inferior limiting sulcus refers to a branch of the inferior limiting sulcus that extends laterally from the insula into the inner surface of the superior temporal gyrus. It is a topological feature of the temporal lobe found in the macaque ( Mesulam-1984 ). It is not found in the human ( Ture-1999 ) or the rodent ( NeuroNames ).

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.
