“These gyri are termed the opercula of the insula; they are separated from each other by the three rami of the lateral fissure, and are named the orbital, frontal, frontoparietal, and temporal opercula.”

“For instance, as memory load increased, the synchrony among the "frontoparietal regions known to underlie executive and attentional functions during memory maintenance" got stronger, and memory capacity was predicted by synchrony in a network where the "intraparietal sulcus was the most central hub".”
“Interareal phase synchrony was sustained and stable during the VWM retention period among frontoparietal and visual areas in α - (10-13 Hz), β - (18-24 Hz), and γ - (30-40 Hz) frequency bands," they wrote.”
“Pachycephalosaur fossils usually consist of only portions of the frontoparietal bone that forms the distinctive dome and many remain incomplete.”
