The convolutions of the cerebral cortex are usually referred to in terms of sulci and gyri, which are respectively fissures and crests along the surface of the brain.
We report GnRHa was associated with attenuation of left parahippocampal (BA 35) and middle temporal gyri (BA 21 ,22, 39) activation, with a significant group-by-time interaction at left precuneus (BA 7) and posterior cingulate cortex— CiteULike: Everyone's library
Scheeringa & Hagoort localizes the neural basis of this "anomaly processing" to a particular region of the prefrontal cortex - the inferior frontal gyri - and finds that the local context surrounding such anomalies (say, that you're told hell has frozen over) has much stronger effects in one hemisphere than the other.— Developing Intelligence
A fairly restricted set of brain regions responded to these manipulations - in particular, the left and right inferior frontal gyri, regions very similar to those commonly associated with Broca's aphasia (a disorder in which patients appear to select words only with great effort, and may be incapable of using or interpreting complex grammar).— Developing Intelligence
In the Menenti et al study, both the left and right inferior frontal gyri showed greater responses to anomalies than expected words in neutral contexts, and this response was reduced when the local context made the anomalies more acceptable.— Developing Intelligence
