  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

The anatomical asymmetries of the cerebral hemispheres were described by several investigators. These evaluations were done in postmortem con-dition. With the introduction of the CT scan, the cytoarchitecture of the human brain in vivo are well appreciated. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the functional and anatomical asymmetries on the frontal and parietal lobes.

Materials and Methods

The subjects consisted of 150 cases, the age of which ranged from second to eighth decade to demonstrate the cortical sulci and gyri on high convexity CT scans. The superior frontal sulcus terminates at or near the precentral sulcus and the termination of the cingulate sulcus lies in the vicinity of the postcentral sulcus. From these anatomical landmarks, the identification of the sulci and gyri on the frontal and parietal lobes are examined.

Results

1) The demonstration of the cortical sulci and gyri on CT is as high as 85 percent.

2) 70.3 percent of the superior frontal sulcus in the left cerebral hemisphere are in parallel direction to the falx cerebri and 60.9 percent in the right cerebral hemisphere.

3) 43.6% of the precentral gyrus in the left cerebral hemisphere is wider than in the right one. 17. 2% of the precentral gyrus in the right cerebral hemisphere is larger than in the left one.

4) The width of the postcentral gyrus in the left cerebral hemisphere is wider in 44. 5% than in the right one. And 19. 5% of the postcentral gyrus in the right cerebral hemispere is larger than in the left one.

5) 43. 6 percent of the precentral and postcentral gyrus in the right cerebral hemisphere lies forward in location than in the left one.

Conclusion

It might be suggested that the motor and sensory area in the left cerebral hemisphere is larger than in the right one and lies slightly backward in location than in the right cerebral hemisphere.
