==Notable gyri==
* [[Fornicate gyrus]] 
* [[Superior frontal gyrus]], ''lat''. gyrus frontalis superior 
* [[Middle frontal gyrus]], ''lat''. gyrus frontalis medius
* [[Inferior frontal gyrus]], ''lat''. gyrus frontalis inferior with 3 parts: 
:* pars opercularis 
:* pars triangularis 
:* pars orbitalis
* [[Superior temporal gyrus]], ''lat''. gyrus temporalis superior
* Middle temporal gyrus, ''lat''. gyrus temporalis medius
* Inferior temporal gyrus, ''lat''. gyrus temporalis inferior
* [[Fusiform gyrus]], ''lat''. gyrus occipitotemporalis medius
* [[Parahippocampal gyrus]], ''lat''. gyrus parahippocampalis
* [[Transverse temporal gyrus]]
* Precentral gyrus, ''lat''. gyrus praecentralis
* [[Postcentral gyrus]], ''lat''. gyrus postcentralis
* Supramarginal gyrus, ''lat''. gyrus supramarginalis
* Angular gyrus, ''lat''. gyrus angularis
* [[Cingulate gyrus]] ''lat''. gyrus cinguli
