Pre-central sulcus
What does the lateral sulcus separate
Separates the temporal and parietal lobe and a little bit of the frontal lobe
Where is the primary auditory cortex located
Temporal lobe

Where the occipital lobe ends
What is the tentorium cerebelli
Invagination of the meningeal layer of the dura mater that separates the occipital and temporal lobes of the cerebral hemispheres from the cerebellum and brainstem
Where is the falx cerebri located
At the longitudinal fissure. Separating the right and left hemispheres
What is another name for the cerebrum
Telencephalon
Where is the primary visual cortex located
Occipital lobe

Grey matter
Which direction do association fibres allow impulses
From front to back
Which direction do projection fibres allow impulses
Up and down
What is the role of the choroid plexus
