Talk:Straight gyrus

Proposed name change from Straight Gyrus to Gyrus Rectus

I have never heard of straight gyrus. Is there a good rationale for having the term straight gyrus over the more commonly known rectus gyrus? Google search for "gyrus rectus" [1] gives 17300 hits, Google search for "straight gyrus" [2] gives 4470 hits

Support The name gyrus rectus is the one used in the literature. CFCF (talk) 21:07, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Object I see it labeled as 'straight gyrus' in a brain atlas ('The Human Brain in 1969 Pieces'), and that's how I came to this page.UnderEducatedGeezer (talk) 20:15, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Object Pages prefer the use of English equivalent or synonym as given in TA rather than the Latin name. --Iztwoz (talk) 10:23, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

How is straight gyrus contiguous with superior frontal gyrus?

Current article says straight gyrus is contiguous with superior frontal gyrus on the medial surface, but I can't see it. I can see the SFG is at (lateral view) & over the 'top' on medial view (using both diagrams there), and the straight gyrus is at 'bottom', but I can't see how they touch anywhere, unless it's on the anterior 'rim' of the medial aspect of the brain, such that the anterior 'edge' of the SFG extends completely down that rim, and is part of what's called the frontal pole, and that's where they touch.

The best I've been able to find is by Dr. Ribas: "Anteriorly, the superior frontal gyrus might be connected to the middle frontal gyrus, with the orbital gyri and the gyrus rectus." https://thejns.org/focus/view/journals/neurosurg-focus/28/2/article-pE2.xml (it's way down, search for gyrus rectus). And the best picture relating that I could find of the SFG on the anterior 'rim' near where the straight gyrs would be (but not showing it) is: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Superior_frontal_gyrus_-_anterior_view.png UnderEducatedGeezer (talk) 12:36, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
