=====Brain Lateral Surface=====
{{ ::lateralsurface.jpg?400|}}

The lateral surface is convex in adaptation to the concavity of the corresponding half of the vault of the [[cranium]]. 

When the cerebrum is viewed from the lateral aspect, each cerebral hemisphere has the appearance, in which, three somewhat pointed ends can be recognised. These pointed ends are the poles of the cerebral cortex. These poles, which are also named in relation to the cranial bones, are the:

frontal pole – anteriorly

occipital pole – posteriorly

temporal pole – lying between the frontal and occipital poles, and points forwards and somewhat downwards.

The [[insula]] can be seen only if two lobes are pulled apart or removed.
====Lobes====
A lateral view of the human brain is the best perspective from which to appreciate the lobes of the cerebral hemisphere.

Each hemisphere is conventionally divided into four lobes, named for the bones of the skull that overlie them: 

[[Frontal lobe]]

[[Parietal lobe]]

[[Temporal lobe]]

[[Occipital lobe]]. 

====Sulci====
The [[central sulcus]]  

The [[lateral  sulcus]] 

====Gyri====
[[Postcentral gyrus]]

[[Precentral gyrus]].
