Abstract The paper presents an analysis of the occiptal lobe of the dog from the point of view of myeolarchitectonics based on the author's own scheme. Thirty‐three areas have been distinguished in the region studied. The principles of the new scheme for the description of the myeloarchitectonics and the new notion of the myeloarchitectonic area and its division into sub‐areas are offered and discussed. The correlation of different myeloarchitectonic elements within an area is stressed. Three types of areas are distinguished in the cortex, namely, gyral, fissural and paragyral areas; attention is given to their occurrence not only in gyri and fissures but in regions of unfolded cortex, also whereby they form crypto‐gyri and crypto‐sulci. On the basis of this division some suppositions are made as to the mechanism of formation of gyri and sulci.
