The inferior surface of the temporal lobe is concave, and is continuous posteriorly with the tentorial surface of the occipital lobe. It is traversed by the occipitotemporal sulcus, also known as the lateral occipitotemporal sulcus {{cite web |title=Occipitotemporal sulcus |url=https://radiopaedia.org/articles/occipitotemporal-sulcus?lang=gb |access-date=18 November 2024}} which extends from near the occipital pole behind, to within a short distance of the temporal pole in front, but is frequently subdivided by bridging gyri.
