[L. fr. G. gyros, circle]gyrus (ji'rus) plural.gyri [L. gyrus fr. Gr. gyros, ring, circle] CEREBRAL GYRIAny of the surface convolutions or rounded ridges that are packed along the cerebral hemispheres of the brain. Each gyrus is separated from its neighbor by a furrow called a sulcus. Details of the shape of gyri vary from individual to individual. Synonym: convolution; gyre See: illustrationangular gyrusA gyrus of the ventral region of the parietal lobe; it caps the posterior (ascending) end of the superior temporal sulcus, and it is just ventral to the supramarginal gyrus. The cortex of the angular gyrus plays a role in the association of the visual and tactile perceptions of forms and shapes. Synonym: gyrus angularisgyrus angularisAngular gyrus.Broca gyrus See: Broca, Pierre-Paulcallosal gyrusA large gyrus on the medial surface of the cerebral hemisphere that lies directly above the corpus callosum and arches over its anterior end.gyrus cerebelliA layer of the cerebellum.cingulate gyrusA long curving gyrus on the medial surface of each cerebral hemisphere; it follows the arch of the corpus callosum, from which it is separated by a deep fissure, the callosal sulcus. The cortex of the cingulate gyrus and the underlying axon tract, the cingulum, are parts of the main circuitry of the limbic system. Synonym: callosal convolutiondentate gyrusA curved gyrus hidden along the medial surface of the temporal lobe of each cerebral hemisphere. It contains a cortex of three layers, with a single cell layer, that is part of the hippocampal formation, and it is folded inside the hippocampal sulcus, where it lies against the subicular edge of the parahippocampal gyrus. The surface of the dentate gyrus has regularly-spaced transverse grooves, which make the gyrus resemble a row of teeth. Synonym: fascia dentata See: limbic system for illusgyrus fornicatusThe ring along the medial surface of each cerebral hemisphere that forms a large segment of the limbic circuitry. The gyrus fornicatus comprises the subcallosal gyrus, the cingulate gyrus, the retrosplenial area, the parahippocampal gyrus, and the uncus. fusiform gyrusOccipitotemporal gyrus.Heschl gyrus See: Heschl gyrushippocampal gyrusParahippocampal gyrus.inferior frontal gyrusThe inferior-most of the three major longitudinal gyri of the lateral surface of the frontal lobe of each cerebral hemisphere; it is part of the prefrontal cortex. In the dominant hemisphere, the posterior two-thirds of the inferior frontal gyrus are Broca speech area, which is involved in activating the muscle groups used when speaking inferior occipital gyrusA stubby, knuckle-shaped gyrus on the lateral surface of the occipital lobe of each cerebral hemisphere, just below the lateral occipital sulcus.inferior parietal gyrusInferior parietal lobule.inferior temporal gyrusThe inferior-most of the three longitudinal gyri that cover the lateral surface of the temporal lobe. lingual gyrusA tongue-shaped gyrus that, at its anterior end (tip), abuts the parahippocampal gyrus on the under surface (ventral) of the occipital lobe. The calcarine fissure (calcarine sulcus) forms the medial (upper) edge of the lingual gyrus, and the collateral sulcus forms the lateral (lower) edge. Part of the primary visual cortex is found along the wall of the lingual gyrus inside the calcarine fissure. gyrus longus insulaeA lengthy gyrus composing the postinsula. medial frontal gyrusThe major anterior gyrus of the medial surface of the frontal lobe of each cerebral hemisphere; it is part of the prefrontal cortex.

The medial edge of the parahippocampal gyrus is called the subiculum; the remainder of the gyrus is called the entorhinal cortex. Together, the ventricular side of the subiculum and dentate gyrus form the hippocampus. Synonym: hippocampal gyrus See: limbic system for illusparaterminal gyrusA small area of the cerebral cortex anterior to the lamina terminalis and below the rostrum of the corpus callosum. parietal gyrusThe inferior or the superior parietal lobule. postcentral gyrusA major dorsoventral gyrus in the parietal lobe of each cerebral hemisphere; its anterior border is the central sulcus, and its posterior border is the postcentral sulcus. This gyrus contains the primary somatosensory cortex. Synonym: ascending parietal convolutionposterior central gyrusPostcentral gyrus.precentral gyrusA major dorsoventral gyrus in the parietal lobe of each cerebral hemisphere; its anterior border is the precentral sulcus, and its posterior border is the central sulcus. This gyrus contains the primary motor cortex. Synonym: ascending frontal convolutiongyrus profundus cerebriOne of the very deep gyri of the cerebrum. gyrus rectusA longitudinal gyrus on the medial edge of the orbital (ventral) surface of the frontal lobe of each cerebral hemisphere; the lateral edge of the gyrus rectus is the olfactory sulcus. Retzius gyrus See: Retzius, Anders Adolfsubcallosal gyrusThe short gyrus at the head of the cingulate gyrus, just below the rostrum of the corpus callosum, on the medial surface of each cerebral hemisphere. It is the anterior-most segment of the gyrus fornicatus.

The supramarginal gyrus plays a role in auditory comprehension. temporal gyrusThe superior, the middle, or the inferior temporal gyrus.transverse temporal gyrus See: Heschl gyrusuncinate gyrusUncus.gyrus One of the many lobe-like rounded elevations on the surface of the brain resulting from the infolding of the adjacent grooves (sulci). From the Greek guros , a circle.gyrusOne of the prominent rounded elevations between the sulci or grooves on the surface of the hemispheres of the brain. There are numerous gyri. Those associated with the visual association areas are the angular and lingual gyri. Plural: gyri.gy·rus, pl. gyri (jī'rŭs, -rī) [TA] One of the prominent rounded elevations or convolutions that form the cerebral hemispheres, each consisting of an exposed superficial portion and a portion hidden from view in the wall and floor of the sulcus (q.v.).
