Cranial Bones: Lateral View
0 Views •
2023
The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones. The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View

The superior view of the cranium shows the frontal and paired parietal bones. The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...

Continuous Theta Burst Stimulation of the Posterior Medial Frontal Cortex to Experimentally Reduce Ideological Threat Responses

Threats reliably evoke shifts in high-level ideological investment, but little work to date has explored the neural mechanisms underlying these dynamics. This paper describes how continuous theta burst transcranial magnetic stimulation may be employed to test the contribution of the posterior medial frontal cortex (and/or other regions) to threat-related ideological shifts.

This paper demonstrates the effective use of a fiber dissection method to reveal the superficial white matter tracts and periventricular structures of the human brain, in three-dimensional space, to aid student comprehension of ventricular morphology.
FAQs
The three perspectives act as complementary projections rather than interchangeable images. A feature that appears short or hidden in one orientation may become clearer from another, while corresponding landmarks can be tracked across views. Comparing the projections helps observers infer depth, relative position, and overall form without relying on a single two-dimensional representation.
Landmarks provide stable reference points for locating less familiar structures and judging their relationships. By matching the same landmark across orientations, an observer can determine whether an apparent change reflects viewpoint or an actual difference in shape and position. This approach supports clearer interpretation of organs, tissues, body regions, and whole organisms.
Standardized orientation reduces variation caused by inconsistent positioning or viewing direction. When specimens, diagrams, or images follow the same conventions, observers can compare proportions, spatial relationships, and visible landmarks more reliably. This consistency is especially valuable when examining differences among individuals or species, because the comparison focuses more directly on biological variation.
Differences among views may reveal how a structure extends, narrows, overlaps, or changes position through space. They should not automatically be interpreted as separate structures or biological changes. Examining the same feature across frontal, lateral, and posterior projections helps distinguish viewpoint-dependent appearance from meaningful variation in morphology or organization.
Begin by identifying the viewing orientation and locating prominent landmarks. Next, follow the target structure across the frontal, lateral, and posterior representations, noting its position, proportions, and relationships to neighboring features. Finally, compare the observations across views before drawing conclusions. This sequence reduces confusion caused by interpreting one projection in isolation.
They are useful whenever researchers need consistent anatomical communication or comparison, including studies of morphology, anatomy, development, microscopy, and imaging. The views help organize observations from diagrams, specimens, tissues, organs, and organisms. Their value increases when a study requires precise localization or comparison across individuals, developmental stages, or species.
In microscopy and imaging, standardized orientations help relate visible structures to a common spatial framework. Researchers can document which landmarks appear in each projection and compare the resulting patterns across samples. This organization improves anatomical interpretation and communication, particularly when images provide only partial two-dimensional information about a complex biological form.
