The coronal suture lies between the paired parietal bones and the frontal bone of the skull ...
is named the stephanion.
The stephanion is found anterior to the euryon (the most lateral point of the skull), and hence, the
supramarginal gyrus
The supramarginal gyrus is a portion of the parietal lobe. This area of the brain is also known as Brodmann area 40 based on the brain map created by Korbinian Brodmann to define the structures in the cerebral cortex. It is probably involved w ...

coronal plane
The dorsal plane (also known as the coronal plane or frontal plane, especially in human anatomy) is an anatomical plane that divides the body into Anatomical terms of location#Dorsal and ventral, dorsal and ventral sections. It is perpendicular t ...
