Sulcus cinguli

The sulcus cinguli is a Sulcus of the brain.

Anatomy

The sulcus cinguli runs directly above the Gyrus cinguli. Its anterior portion, which lies below the Gyrus frontalis superior, is called the pars subfrontalis. The posterior portion, the Ramus marginalis, curves toward the Cerebral mantle margin and forms the posterior boundary of the Lobulus paracentralis[^1]. Anterior to the end of the sulcus cinguli lies the Sulcus centralis.
