Axons from the large fusiform cells of the dorsal nucleus pass partly by way of the striæ medullares to the trapezoid body and lateral lemniscus and the nuclei associated with the former, and partly transversely beneath the inferior peduncle and spinal tract of the trigeminal to the trapezoid body.
The spinal part arises from lateral cell groups in the anterior column near its dorso-lateral margin in the upper five or six segments of the cord, its roots pass through the lateral funiculus to the lateral surface of the cord.
A few of the fibers are said to pass by the inferior colliculus to terminate in the middle portion of the stratum griseum of the superior colliculus, and are probably concerned with reflex movements of the eyes depending on acoustic stimuli.

 PainOnline.com: Bowsher Explodes Pain Theory
Later, it became apparent that an area in the parietal cortex (the operculum, or "lid") also processed pain, and this was called SII, or the "secondary" sensory area.
Even later, a part further back in what is called the insular cortex was found to process pain as well.
Francis Crick published one of the first articles attributing the "painfulness of pain" to the insular cortex, here at painonline.

 Nat' Academies Press, (NAS Colloquium) Auditory Neuroscience Development, Transduction, and Integration (2001)
These theories have been based largely on studies of the tonotopy, connections, and architecture of auditory cortex in monkeys, but additional relevant information is starting to emerge from investigations of cortical organization in prosimian galagos, histochemical studies in chimpanzees and humans, and nonin- vasive functional studies in humans.
The authors concluded that such contrasts provided support for a hierarchical model of auditory word processing in the human temporal lobe based on increasing complexity and integration of temporal and spectral features.
How- ever, microelectrode recording studies have provided only limited evidence for a tonotopic representation in CM (12, 20, 32), and other medial belt areas have not been studied adequately.

 Brain and Behavior: Lecture 2
Just posterior to the central sulcus is called the postcentral gyrus or primary somatosensory area that contains the skin sense sensory homunculus.
It is the primary cortical target for information originating in the ears and vestibular organs, and is involved with some complex aspects of vision (i.e., perception of complex patterns and faces).
And here are the four different views of the brain (lateral, medial, dorsal, and ventral view):

 On the Brain of Ateles Paniscus
Hence a new description, which should touch upon these points, could hardly be superfluous, under any circumstances; while, at the present moment, the controversy which has arisen respecting the nature and the extent of the differences in cerebral structure between Man and the Apes gives an especial value to all new facts.
I have recently had the opportunity of dissecting ten human brains, and, in all, I have found the calcarine and collateral sulci to present the relations described above, with perfect constancy.
Nevertheless it does, in a definite sense, correspond with the inner wall of the posterior cornu.

The superior frontal gyrus continues onto the medial surface of the hemisphere to the point of the cingulate sulcus.
The remainder of the lobe is referred to as a visual association cortex that is involved in higher order processing of visual information.
This site of cortex, called the insula, overlies the site where the telencephalon and diencephalon fused during embryological development.

 The Mid-brain or Mesencephalon - WikiMD
The greater part of the medial lemniscus, on the other hand, is prolonged through the tegmentum, and most of its fibers end in the thalamus; probably some are continued directly through the occipital part of the internal capsule to the cerebral cortex.
( Picture From the Classic Gray's Anatomy) In the cerebral peduncle, a few of its fibers pass upward in the lateral part of the base of the peduncle, on the dorsal aspect of the temporopontine fibers, and reach the lentiform nucleus and the insula.
The medial surface of the peduncle forms the lateral boundary of the interpeduncular fossa, and is marked by a longitudinal furrow, the oculomotor sulcus from which the roots of the oculomotor nerve emerge.

 Frontal lobe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the human brain, the precentral gyrus and the related cortical tissue that folds into the central sulcus comprise the primary motor area, which controls voluntary movements of specific body parts associated with areas of the gyrus.
Frontal lobes have been found to play a part in impulse control, judgement, language, memory, motor function, problem solving, sexual behavior, socialization and spontaneity.
In the human brain, the central sulcus separates the frontal lobe from the parietal lobe along the top of each cerebral cortex.

 MSN Encarta - Brain
Many other areas of the cerebral cortex have also been mapped according to their specific functions, such as vision, hearing, speech, emotions, language, and other aspects of perceiving, thinking, and remembering.
Cortical regions known as associative cortex are responsible for integrating multiple inputs, processing the information, and carrying out complex responses.
The cerebrum receives information from all the sense organs and sends motor commands (signals that result in activity in the muscles or glands) to other parts of the brain and the rest of the body.

 Sulci and Gyri of The Parietal Lobe
The parietal lobe is separated from the frontal lobe by the central sulcus, but its boundaries below and behind are somewhat less definite.
Below, it is bounded by the posterior ramus of the lateral sulcus and by another arbitrary line drawn from the place where the posterior ramus turns to ascend into the parietal lobe to the point at which this line intersects the back boundary line.
The back boundary of the middle surface of the parietal lobe is formed by the prominent parieto-occipital sulcus, and between these boundaries are located the back portions of both the paracentral lobule and the cingulate gyrus, and the entire "precuneus."

Different from others regions of the brain, whose anatomy has been already meticulously detailed, controversies about occipital lobe morphology can occasionally hinder the surgical approaches to it.
CONCLUSION: The occipital lobe presents parameters that are often recognized in most of the dissected brain and can be useful for the planning and performance of surgery in this area of the brain.
Also, anatomical details of structures such as the calcarine sulcus and preoccipital notch were evaluated.

 The Human Brain
The cortex of the angular gyrus is important because it is involved in relating visual impressions to stereognostic impressions (appreciation of the nature of objects by means of touch).
On the left side of the brain (in most individuals), the opercular and triangular parts of the inferior frontal gyrus are referred to as Broca's area, which is associated with motor elements of speech.
The anterior horizontal and anterior ascending rami of the lateral sulcus are well developed, although in other specimens they may be less easy to identify.

 Thrush
Some thrush can get ½ to ¾ inch deep and also elicit pain, puss or blood when the hoof pick is removed.
Most commonly, it is infection of the central sulcus of the frog, but it can extend out into the frog tissue and can evolve into the heel area and also on either the medial and/or lateral sulcus of the frog.
One way is to place a hoof pick in that central sulcus and if you can’t see the end of it, then the horse more than likely has thrush.

 Deep Lateral Femoral Notch Sign
The increased depth of the lateral femoral sulcus in patients with an ACL tear is due to impacted fracture, similar to a Hill-Sachs lesion of the humerus.
This line is used as a reference and the depth of the sulcus is measured perpendicular to this line.
This impaction occurs when the tibia becomes displaced anteriorly and the lateral femoral sulcus pushes against the posterior rim of the tibial plateau, causing an indentation in the femoral condyle.

The so-called circular sulcus surrounds the insula, except inferomedially where the cortex of the insula is continuous, at the limen insulae, with the cerebral cortex lateral to the anterior (rostral) perforated substance on the basal aspect of the brain.
The insular cortex is indented by a number of sulci, one of which - the central sulcus of the insula - is deeper and more prominent than the rest.
After their excision, the insula appears as a triangular eminence that is marked by a number of sulci and gyri.

Remarks: The variable orientation ofcolpi and their rotated orientations on opposite sides of the grain is a characteristic of the Equisetosporites pollen morphotype (thought by some palynologists to be gnetalean: SCOTT 1960), and spiraperturate pollen in general.
Extant Nelumbo (Nymphaeidae) pollen ranges from tricolpate to trisulcate with a pair of equatorial sulci positioned as in Tricrinopollis n.
The lateral position of the sulci, the occasional apical union of the sulci, and the large detachable operculum suggest that most of the distal side of the grain functioned as one aperture.
