Study Notes
Cerebrum - Telencephalon
- The telencephalon includes the cerebral hemispheres, archiocortex, paleocortex (including rhinencephalon), and neocortex.
- White matter consists of association, commissural, and projection fibers.
Brain (Encephalon)
- The brain controls the organs, regulates, coordinates, and integrates the nervous system.
- Its functions are reflected in its morphological features.
Anatomical Orientations
- Sagittal plane: Divides the brain into right and left portions.
- Horizontal (dorsal) plane: Divides the brain into dorsal and ventral portions.
- Transverse plane: Divides the brain into rostral and caudal portions.
Anatomical Terms
- Unilateral: Relating to one side of the body.
- Bilateral: Relating to both sides of the body.
- Ipsilateral: Relating to the same side of the body.
- Contralateral: Relating to the opposite side of the body.
Cerebrum - Telencephalon
- It's responsible for conscious sensation and voluntary movement.
- Consists of two hemispheres separated by the longitudinal fissure.
- Each hemisphere has cerebral cortex (gray matter), basal nuclei (gray matter), and white matter.
- Surfaces can be smooth (lissencephalic) or convoluted (gyrencephalic), with gyri (ridges) and sulci (grooves).
Cerebrum - Telencephalon - Comparative Anatomy of Brains
- Brain weight correlates with body weight.
- White matter increases as a function of body weight cubed.
- Gray matter increases as a function of body weight squared.
- Larger animals have a higher white matter-to-gray matter ratio.
Cerebrum - Telencephalon - External Anatomy
- Formed by two hemispheres separated by a longitudinal fissure.
- Hemispheres are connected by the corpus callosum, rostral commissure, and caudal commissure.
- Consists primarily of folds (gyri) and grooves (sulci/fissures) to increase surface area.
Cerebrum - Telencephalon - Rhinencephalon
- The most ventral portion of the telencephalon.
- Associated with smell, particularly in lower vertebrates.
- In higher animals, it develops more complex roles in memory and emotional behavior.
Cerebrum - Telencephalon - Olfactory Pathways
- Olfactory pathway: Includes the olfactory bulb, olfactory tract, lateral olfactory gyrus, and piriform lobe. Important for the sense of smell.
- Nonolfactory pathway: Includes parts of the piriform lobe, amygdala, septum, and hippocampal formation and integrates olfactory sensations with other limbic functions.
Neocortex (Isocortex)
- The predominant part of the cerebral cortex in mammals.
- Divided into lobes (frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal, and rhinencephalon).
- Contains functional regions responsible for various sensations and motor functions.
- The complexity of the association areas varies between species, with larger animals typically having a higher proportion of association cortex relative to sensory or motor regions.
White matter
- Association fibers: Connect areas within the same hemisphere.
- Commissural fibers: Connect corresponding areas between the two hemispheres.
- Projection fibers: Connect the cerebral cortex to other areas of the brain (e.g., thalamus, brainstem, spinal cord).
Basal Nuclei
- Subcortical nuclei regulate motor functions.
- Have connections to various areas, including the cerebral cortex.
- Lesions in these nuclei can result in motor deficits.
