Detailed explanation-1: -The supramarginal gyrus (plural: supramarginal gyri) is a portion of the parietal lobe of the brain. It is one of the two parts of the inferior parietal lobule, the other being the angular gyrus . It plays a role in phonological processing (i.e. of spoken and written language) and emotional responses.

Detailed explanation-2: -The supramarginal gyrus is a portion of the parietal lobe. This area of the brain is also known as Brodmann area 40. It is probably involved with language perception and processing, and lesions in it may cause receptive aphasia.

Detailed explanation-3: -The parietal lobe is the region that shows the greatest interhemispheric and interindividual sulcal variability. It contains two main gyri: the superior parietal gyrus and the inferior parietal gyrus. The superior parietal gyrus (also called P1; see Fig.

Detailed explanation-4: -The angular gyrus is a horseshoe shaped region of the inferior parietal lobule. The region is located posterior to the supramarginal gyrus, the second region that forms the inferior parietal lobule. This region is known as the Brodmann area 39.

Detailed explanation-5: -The superior parietal lobule is involved with spatial orientation, and receives a great deal of visual input as well as sensory input from one’s hand. It is also involved with other functions of the parietal lobe in general.
