3D. Cerebrum Flashcards
____________ ventricles for the production of cerebral spinal fluid
Lateral
Transverse cerebral fissure
The fissure that runs along the midline. Represented by a fold of dura, identified as the Falx Cerebri
longitudinal cerebral fissure
Helps to serve as a dividing landmark between various phylogenetic stages of development of the cerebrum
- separates Rhinencephalon from rest of cerebrum
Lateral Rhinal
Serves as a landmark for the motor cortex in the cerebrum
Cruciate
means smooth brain
Lissencephaly
Functional Associations of Cerebral Lobes:
Motor cortex and thought
frontal lobe
Functional Associations of Cerebral Lobes:
Sensory cortex (conscious awareness of various pathways and modalities)
parietal lobe
Functional Associations of Cerebral Lobes:
The portion of the cortex that processes auditory information and it is also the site where we have memory processing and tie-ins with the emotional system
temporal lobe
Functional Associations of Cerebral Lobes:
Processes visual information
occipital lobe
Rhinencephalon: paleocortex
is the dividing landmark
lateral rhinal sulcus
Olfactory system from most rostrally to caudal :
olfactory bulb
olfactory tract
piriform lobe
Is the cortical area where the actual sense of smell is perceived
piriform lobe
White matter fiber systems:
- ascending and descending tracts
Projection fibers
White matter fiber systems:
- short or INTRAlobar (within lobe or short) between adjacent gyri
- long or InTERlobar between lobes; example: cingulum
Association fibers
