Use ellipsis points (three spaced dots) to indicate that something has been omitted.
EXAMPLE
Strokes in the temporal or parietal lobes of the left hemisphere of the neocortex characteristically result in the impairment of the ability to read, write, speak, and do arithmetic.
" Strokes . . . characteristically result in the impairment of the ability to read, write, speak, and do arithmetic."
If the omission comes at the end of a sentence, the first dot is the period, followed by the three dots of the ellipsis.
