D
Parieto-occipital sulcus
Verified step by step guidance
1
Identify the lobes of the brain involved in the question: the parietal lobe and the temporal lobe.
Understand the function and location of each lobe: the parietal lobe is located near the top and back of the brain, while the temporal lobe is located on the side of the brain, near the ears.
Review the anatomical landmarks of the brain: grooves or sulci are the indentations or folds on the brain's surface that separate different lobes.
Recall the specific sulci and fissures: the lateral sulcus (also known as the Sylvian fissure) is the groove that separates the temporal lobe from the parietal lobe.
Differentiate between the options provided: the central sulcus separates the frontal and parietal lobes, the longitudinal fissure separates the two cerebral hemispheres, and the parieto-occipital sulcus separates the parietal and occipital lobes.
