Which feature separates the temporal lobe from the frontal and parietal lobes?
A
Transverse fissure
B
Longitudinal fissure
C
Central sulcus
D
Lateral sulcus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The lateral fissure (Sylvian fissure) is a laterally located horizontal fissure and separates the temporal lobe from the frontal and parietal lobe.

Detailed explanation-2: -The lateral sulcus is a deep fissure that is first identified on the inferior surface of the brain close to the anterior perforated substance but becomes most visible on the lateral surface where it separates the frontal and parietal lobes from the temporal lobe.

Detailed explanation-3: -The lateral sulcus (Sylvian fissure) is a very deep fold seen on the lateral surface of the hemisphere running in an anterior to posterior direction and serves to separate the temporal lobe from the frontal and parietal lobes.

Detailed explanation-4: -The temporal lobe can be divided through its traditional Broadmann’s area or simply by the superior, middle and inferior temporal gyrus (STG, MTG, ITG, respectively), parahippocampal/entorhinal gyri and fusiform gyrus.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Rolandic Sulcus: The Rolandic sulcus, also called Rolando or the central sulcus, is a very important sulcus because it delimits the boundary between motor and the sensory cortices, as well as the boundary between the frontal and parietal lobes.
