The superior frontal, precentral, and central sulci of fixed brain specimens were marked and then scanned by computed tomography. A constant relationship between the posterior ends of the superior frontal and precentral sulci facilitated accurate identification of the anterior border of the precentral gyrus in both unmarked fixed brains and patients. Precise localization of this gyrus can aid in localization of lesions and correlation with functional changes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
