Study Notes
The Cerebrum
- The cerebrum, often referred to as the "seat of intelligence", is the largest part of the brain.
- The longitudinal fissure divides the cerebrum into right and left hemispheres.
- The central sulcus divides the frontal lobe from the parietal lobe.
- The lateral cerebral sulcus separates the frontal lobe from the temporal lobe.
- The cerebral cortex, the outer layer of the cerebrum, has folds called gyri which increase the surface area of the brain.
- The transverse fissure separates the cerebrum from the cerebellum.
- Sulci are the grooves in the cerebral cortex, while gyri are the ridges.
