Parieto-occipital sulcus

In neuroanatomy, the parieto-occipital sulcus is a deep sulcus in the cerebral cortex that marks the boundary between the cuneus and precuneus, and also between the parietal and occipital lobes. Only a small part can be seen on the lateral surface of the hemisphere, its chief part being on the medial surface.

Function
The parieto-occipital lobe has been found in various neuroimaging studies, including PET (positron-emission-tomography) studies, to be involved along with the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex during planning. ==Gallery==
