Abstract
We present the surface anatomy of the brain describing in detail the typical configuration of the sulci and gyri and their most frequent variations. After describing the borders of the lobes we give guidance on the methods of localising functionally important atomic structures such as the pericentral cortex, Heschl’s gyrus and the calcarine sulcus.
