telencephalon
what does diencephalon consists of
thalamus metathalamus hypothalamus epithalamus sub thalamus
mid brain consists of
diencephalon mesencephalon metencepahlon myelencephalon

myelencephalon
medulla
hindbrain consists of
pons medulla oblongata cerebellum
lobes of the brain
frontal parietal occipital temporal
lobe of brain responsible for personality motor emotions problem solving reasoning speech motor
frontal lobe
lobe of brain responsible for sensation touch pressure pain temperature texture position and spatial orientation
parietal
lobe of brain responsible for memory hearing
temporal
lobe of brain responsible for vision reading
occipital
anatomical features of of cerebrum include
gyri sulci borders surfaces poles and lobes
ridge or fold between two clefts on the cerebral surface in the brain increase the surface area of the brain up to an impressive 2000 centimeters squared
gyrus
a groove or furrow, especially one on the surface of the brain
sulci
larger sulci are usually called
fissures
main sulci of the brain include
central sulcus lateral fissure longitudinal fissure
sulcus that divides parietal and frontal lobes
central sulcus
sulcus that divides temporal lobe from parietal and frontal
lateral fissure
sulcus that separates the two cerebral hemispheres of the vertebrate brain
longitudinal fissure
sulcus in the cerebral cortex that marks the boundary between the cuneus and precuneus and also between the parietal and occipital lobes
parietooccipital fissure
corpus callosum
C-shaped nerve fiber bundle found beneath the cerebral cortex. It stretches across the midline of the brain, connecting the left and right cerebral hemispheres. It makes up the largest collection of white matter tissue found in the brain
cingulate gyrus
makes up the limbic cortex of the brain’s limbic system along with the parahippocampal gyrus
