Supramarginal Angular Gyrus Anatomy

&#160;

good illustration of locations of SM vs Ang gyrus.

&#160;

The Supramarginal &#160;(mnemonic: &#160;supra is higher)

gyrus &#160;wraps around the tail end of the LATERAL SULUS (Sylvian fissure) which is

above the Superior Temporal Sulcus.

&#160;

The Angular Gyrus wraps around the tail end of the STS.

&#160;

Note that since those sulci turn northward at their ends

the result is tha the

SM gyrus is ANTERIOR to the SM gyrus.

Also the SM gyrus is much bigger than the Ang gyrus.</p>
