posterior long gyrus ( PLG )
The term posterior long gyrus (PLG) refers to one of two long insular gyri identified by dissection in the human. Its posteroinferior boundary is the inferior limiting sulcus (ilms) ( Ture-1999 ). It is separated, sometimes only partially, from the anterior long gyrus by the postcentral insular sulcus (pois) Crosby-1962; Duvernoy-1992 ). It is found only in humans, not in macaques ( Mufson-1997 ) nor in the smooth cerebral cortex (CTX) of the rat and mouse ( NeuroNames ). Updated 2 Sep 2024.
