The calcarine sulcus (or calcarine fissure) is an anatomical landmark located at the caudal end of the medial surface of the brain of humans and other primates. Its name comes from the Latin "calcar" meaning "spur". It is very deep, and known as a complete sulcus.

2024年5月9日 · The calcarine fissure, or calcarine sulcus, is located on the medial surface of the occipital lobe and divides the primary visual cortex (a.k.a. calcarine cortex) into two halves.

2024年5月16日 · The calcarine sulcus, also known as the calcarine fissure, is a deep sulcus of the brain, located on the medial surface of the occipital lobe. The term "calcarine" comes from the Latin word "calcar", which means spur.

2023年7月24日 · The medial surface of the occipital lobe has a characteristic calcarine sulcus (calcarine fissure). It extends from the parieto-occipital sulcus to the occipital pole. The upper and lower banks of calcarine sulcus house the primary visual cortex.

The calcarine fissure is a part of the brain anatomy that is described in the ninth chapter of IIIA volume. It is related to the parietooccipital fissure and optic radiation. AI generated definition based on: Yasargil Microneurosurgery Study Guide, 2023

The calcarine fissure is a deep sulcus located on the medial surface of the occipital lobe (see Fig. 1). The superior ( cuneus ) and inferior ( lingual gyrus ) banks of this sulcus represent the primary cortical projection area for vision.

The calcarine sulcus or fissure is a groove located in the occipital area of the internal or medial side of the cerebral hemispheres, separating the visual cortex into two parts. It follows a horizontal path until it joins the parieto-occipital sulcus

We show that the calcarine fissure, where the primary visual cortex is represented, is abnormally short in those lacking a fovea. Moreover, surface reconstructions of the calcarine fissure revealed marked interhemispheric asymmetries.

2025年1月4日 · The calcarine sulcus is a sulcus of the median occipital lobe. Anatomy The calcarine sulcus begins above the splenium of the corpus callosum and separates caudally the isthmus of the cingulate gyrus from the parahippocampal gyrus .

2024年9月30日 · Deep within the occipital lobe, we find the calcarine fissure. This groove is intimately associated with visual processing, housing the primary visual cortex. It’s like a hidden valley where the magic of vision happens, transforming light into …
