It forms a lip over the insula known as the parietal operculum.
A short branch of the fissure, the posterior subcentral sulcus projects into the operculum. The boundaries in the macaque are similar except that the caudal border is only partially defined on the dorsal surface by a short postcentral sulcus Martin Equivalent structures are not found in the smooth cerebral cortex of the rat or mouse. Size Differences by Sex, Age and Diagnosis. The functional organization of the precentral gyrus is such that clusters of Betz cells are somatotopically represented by an inverted homunculus.
Therefore, head and face regions are innervated by the inferior portion of the precentral gyrus. Conversely, the lower limbs are innervated by the superior portion 4. Anterior to the precentral gyrus, separated by the precentral sulcus, lie a set of areas composing the lateral premotor cortex and the supplemental motor area.
Posteriorly, separated by the central sulcus, lies the primary somatosensory cortex. Medially and inferiorly, it is bound by the cingulate gyrus. Laterally and inferiorly, it is bound by the Sylvian fissure 3. The precentral gyrus is continuous with the postcentral gyrus on both the medial and superolateral aspects of each hemisphere.
Medially, this occurs via the paracentral lobule, and superolaterally this connection is via the subcentral gyrus, which may be hidden within the operculum.
