The portion on the lateral surface of the hemisphere is usually more or less completely subdivided into an upper and a lower part by an antero-posterior sulcus the paramedial sulcus which however is frequently interrupted by bridging gyri.There is some evidence that it plays a role in executive mechanisms.
