(varying in different brains from about 2700 to 4000). The narrow extremity of the oval is placed a short distance behind and below the splenium of the corpus callosum; and from this point the area extends horizontally backwards to the occipital pole, or even beyond it on to the lateral aspect of the hemisphere. In the course of development this area striata becomes folded along its axis during the sixth month, and the furrow thus formed is called the sulcus calcarinus. This name was applied to the furrow by Huxley because its deep anterior part indents the whole thickness of the medial. CORP. GEN.
