What is superificial grey matter?
Cortex
What is deep grey matter?
Basal Ganglia and the thalamus
What was the naming of the central sulcus?
- Rolandic Sulcus
2. Central Sulcus
Rolandic sulcus
Named after Italian anatomist - Luigi Rolando
F. Leuret (1839)
Observed the precentral and postcentral gyrus on either side of great central fissure
Central Sulcus
Theory: animals have some anterior sulci which will form a radius, CS cuts through these radius
He thought central sulcus subdivides sylvian fissure into 2 areas within the circle
E. Huschke (1854)
How was the central sulcus observed?
Not the centre of the brain, it is anterior as the frontal lobe is much smaller
Frontal lobe is so developed, it looks more posterior
What can the central region be thought of as?
Ellipsoid of tissues
What are the components of the central region?
- Precentral Gyrus
- Postcentral Gyrus
- Paracentral Lobule
- Subcentral Gyrus
What was the anatomic subdivisions of the Central Sulcus?
3 Genu Broca (1878)
Dejerine (1895)
2 Genu Eberstaller (1890)
Cunningham (1892)
How can the Central Sulcus be identified?
- Anatomic methods
MR - CT - DSA - Functional Imaging
fMRI-MEG-PET
What are 2 types of anatomic methods?
- Extracerebral Landmark
- Coronal suture
2. Cerebral Landmark Deep Cortical (AC-PC)
What is a suture?
Where 2 bones come together
What is coronal suture?
1 and 1/2cm anterior to the central sulcus
Deep (AC:PC) Talairach
2 points which are constant to make a line
AC:PC becomes the basis for mathematical orientation
How can you divide the whole brain into rectangles?
Do lines which are perpendicular and parallel
What is anterior commissure?
White matter tract connecting the 2 temporal lobes of the cerebral hemisphere across the midline
What is Digital substraction angiography?
Visualise blood vessels in a bony or dense soft tissue environment
- place needle in vessel
- Inject dye
- Substraction
Picture of bone with and without a dye and make a substraction
What is Angiography?
Injection of a constrast medium inside vessels, outline cerebral vessels
Connection IHF
Midline S sign
