Uberon Taxon note : The culmen lobule (lobules IV/V) is a single structure in humans, but it is divided
by the intraculminate fissure in many rodents. In some mouse strains such as SLJ/J,
the intraculminate fissure is absent, in some strains such as DBA/2J it is present,
and other strains (C57BL/10J and BALB/cJ) exhibit considerable variablility (PMID:
