Emergency!

First person to bring back lot's of information on the Central Sulcus get's a prize!

It's a part of the brain. And I am googling it and am starting to give up. Any help will be appreciated (I will lock this later other Kage's)

This says only what it is but I'm finding more info. on its function. Be back with more info. in time.


The central sulcus is a fold in the cerebral cortex of brains in vertebrates. Also called the central fissure, it was originally called the fissure of Rolando or the Rolandic fissure, after Luigi Rolando.
The central sulcus is a prominent landmark of the brain, separating the parietal lobe from the frontal lobe and the primary motor cortex from the primary somatosensory cortex.

• The central sulcus is the large deep groove or indentation that separates the parietal and frontal lobes.

Central Sulcus
-

The central sulcus is a large inward fold in the brain tissue running from the
top to the middle of the brain.

A double-S-shaped fissure extending obliquely upward and backward on the lateral surface of each cerebral hemisphere at the boundary between frontal and parietal lobes.

Oiy but I already had that and I have to make it one page...-_-

What do you need to know??

It's function?? k, This is all I've got. sorry.

It's functions seems mainly to be just to separate the parietal and frontal lobes.

Delving deeper, it also is the site of the primary motor cortex in mammals, a group of cells that controls voluntary movements of the body.


Sulcus basically is a fissure between two gyri-(a crest of a single convolution)

The precentral sulcus lies parallel to, and in front of, the central sulcus.

The postcentral sulcus of the parietal lobe lies parallel to, and behind, the central sulcus in the human brain


(All I found.....Geez, this must be obscure)

I know it's stupid I have to basically stretch every sentence into a paragraph -_- but yeah it's functions.

there you go, Kazekage. Wikipedia cures all.

But it doesn't really...

Mih I just skip it.

Overview

The sylvian fissure and interhemispheric fissure are easy to
spot from the approriate coronal or axial view. However, the
central sulcus (cs) can require a bit more
training to detect. One of the best ways to find the cs
and other major sulci is to look at a posterior 3/4 rendering of
the brain as I show here. From this view you should be able to
quickly identify the Interhemispheric Fissure (IF),
superior frontal sulcus (sfs) and the
intraprairetal sulcus (ips), as shown on the
diagram. The sfs and ips are
especially useful for finding the cs. The
anterior end of the ips is the postcentral
sulcus (pocs) and the posterior junction of the sfs
is near the precentral sulcus (precs). One word
of caution: one of the most salient features of the ips
is the dorsal junction of the supramarginal gyrus (SmG)
and Angular Gyrus (AnG), shown with a cyan
circle in the diagram. This junction can often look like the pocs
- it is important to keep tracing the ips
anteriorly after this landmark in order to find the pocs.
From this view, the cs lies between the pocs
and the precs.

The cs can also be found by examing axial
slices, as described by Nicola
Petitti in a powerpoint presentation. Looking at a normalized
brain, the cs is easiest to spot on an axial
slice with a Z-coordinate around 60mm. At this position the sfs
can typically be seen transecting the precs, and
the ips can often be seen to connect with the pocs.
From this view, the cs usually looks more
crooked than the flanking precs and pocs
- it often contains an 'inverted omega' shape - which is the
landmark for the precentral gyrus's motor-hand area (see Yousry
et al, Brain, 1997, v120, 141-157). Note that the precentral
gyrus is usually larger than the postcentral gyrus. Furthermore,
at this slice, the cs is usually deeper and more
continuous than either the precs or pocs.
Identifying the precs, cs and pocs
is useful, as these areas indicate the location of the primary
motor cortex. The precentral gyrus (the gyrus between precs
and cs) is involved with motor control (e.g.
reaching) and the postcentral gyrus (between cs
and pocs) is involved with sensation (e.g.
touch). For example, stimulating the motor hand area with a TMS
wand will cause the hand to flinch.

As mentioned in the introduction,
brains vary a lot between individuals, even after normalization.
All of the tips described here are 'rules of thumb' that will
work for most brains.

is that good

if not is this enough

That's helpful...Thanks!

YAY REWARD. *mybe its stats* (HINT HINT)

are you doing a school report or something?

no he wants to learn it for fun (SARCASM)
of course and i dont even no him personally

You get an added bonus of 2+ on Taijutsu. I know it sounds bad but if you are to perform Taijutsu with the gates you need to understand the brain to open the lotus.


Mission over thank you very much Yondaime.
