href='CentralDirectory.aspx?ID=39&questID=140'> cerebral cortex</A> defined by dissection in the<A href='Species.aspx?ID=2507&questID=140'> human</A> (<A href='Source.aspx?ID=129&questID=140'>

It is located at the back of the<A href='CentralDirectory.aspx?ID=21&questID=140'> brain</A>. Viewed from the side, it is separated from the<A href='CentralDirectory.aspx?ID=95&questID=140'> parietal lobe</A><A href='CentralDirectoryDefinition.aspx?ID=1914&questID=140'> dorsal</A>ly and from the<A href='CentralDirectory.aspx?ID=125&questID=140'> temporal lobe</A><A href='CentralDirectoryDefinition.aspx?ID=1915&questID=140'> ventral</A>ly by an oblique plane through the<A href='CentralDirectory.aspx?ID=52&questID=140'> parieto-occipital sulcus</A> on the<A href='CentralDirectoryDefinition.aspx?ID=1914&questID=140'> dorsal</A> margin of the hemisphere and the<A href='CentralDirectory.aspx?ID=54&questID=140'> preoccipital notch</A> on the<A href='CentralDirectoryDefinition.aspx?ID=1915&questID=140'> ventral</A> margin. In some cases the lower part of the boundary is marked by a<A href='CentralDirectory.aspx?ID=142&questID=140'> anterior occipital sulcus</A> (<A href='Source.aspx?ID=307&questID=140'> Duvernoy-1992</A> ).On the<A href='CentralDirectoryDefinition.aspx?ID=1919&questID=140'> medial</A> surface it is separated from the<A href='CentralDirectory.aspx?ID=95&questID=140'> parietal lobe</A> by the<A href='CentralDirectory.aspx?ID=52&questID=140'> parieto-occipital sulcus</A> and from the<A href='CentralDirectory.aspx?ID=125&questID=140'> temporal lobe</A> by the<A href='CentralDirectory.aspx?ID=47&questID=140'> collateral sulcus</A>. ( For an alternate definition adopted by some authors, see<A href='CentralDirectory.aspx?ID=1230&questID=140'> occipital lobe (Ono)</A>.<br> Its gyral pattern in the<A href='Species.aspx?ID=2507&questID=140'> human</A> is perhaps the most variable of any of the six lobes. In most<A href='CentralDirectory.aspx?ID=21&questID=140'> brain</A>s it contains five basic convolutions: the<A href='CentralDirectory.aspx?ID=154&questID=140'> superior occipital gyrus</A>, the<A href='CentralDirectory.aspx?ID=155&questID=140'> middle occipital gyrus</A>, the<A href='CentralDirectory.aspx?ID=156&questID=140'> inferior occipital gyrus</A>, the<A href='CentralDirectory.aspx?ID=158&questID=140'> lingual gyrus</A>, and the<A href='CentralDirectory.aspx?ID=157&questID=140'> cuneus</A>.<br> The boundaries of the<A href='CentralDirectory.aspx?ID=140&questID=140'> occipital lobe</A> of the<A href='Species.aspx?ID=2512&questID=140'> macaque</A> are similar except that the<A href='CentralDirectoryDefinition.aspx?ID=1917&questID=140'> rostral</A> border as viewed from the side is well marked by the<A href='CentralDirectory.aspx?ID=3477&questID=140'> lunate sulcus of the human</A>. The convolutions are similar except that the<A href='Species.aspx?ID=2512&questID=140'> macaque</A> has a single<A href='CentralDirectory.aspx?ID=152&questID=140'> occipital gyrus</A> where the<A href='Species.aspx?ID=2507&questID=140'> human</A> has superior and middle<A href='CentralDirectory.aspx?ID=2815&questID=140'> occipital gyri</A>;
