fissure of Sylvius, into the posterior limb of which it sometimesbut very rarely opens. Its position and direction are such that thefissures of the two sides, seen from above, form a wide Y-shaped figure,open in front. It is rarely interrupted in its course, appears early infoetal life (end of the fifth month), and is very uniform in man and inthe Quadrumana of the old world, but is not present in mammalia gene-rally. It is apparently caused by a venous communication between thesuperior longitudinal sinus and the middle cerebral vein, which is wellmarked in the foetus from the fourth to the sixth month, but afterwardsbecomes atrophied (W. Krause). This furrow separates the fiontal from the parietal lobe. The parallelconvolutions which bound it are named respectively the ascendingfrontal and ascending parietal convolutions. It is in the immediate neighbourhood of this sulcus that the chief of the so-called motor areas of the cerebral cortex are situated. Fig. 294. ParicLil.L Occipilal
