What is the groove in the center of the frog?

Grooves in the brain serve as landmarks, and the central one is the midline groove that runs right down the middle of the brain. This central sulcus is the prominent midline feature that marks the boundary between the left and right cerebral hemispheres and helps orient you to the brain’s major regions in a frog. That central position is what the name implies, making it the groove you’d identify as the center of the frog’s brain. The other names don’t fit this central location: a lateral sulcus would be along the side of the brain, a circular sulcus describes a ring-shaped groove around a structure, and a medial sulcus is a general midline term not the specific central landmark used in typical frog brain diagrams.
