The regions of this important peculiarity are the centralregions of the external surface of the hemisphere, to wit:the ascending frontal convolution, the ascending parietal con-volution, especially at their superior parts, and finally in alittle lobule situated upon the internal face of the hemisphere,until recently unnamed, and which Betz has proposed to callCne. paracentral lobule.
