Document Summary
Slide 1: through evolution, we have added more and more complex processes to our brain. we maintain the same behaviours but more complicated. Today"s lecture: cerebral cortex in detail vascular supply of the cerebral cortex, meninges. mountain gyri, gulci: two hemispheres brain is separated and connected by a fiber pathway. right hemisphere controls the left hand side of the body; gets information from the left hand side of the body. fibers run across the two hemispheres; allows communication. fissures when the sulci are really big. longitudinal fissures separates the left hemisphere from the right hemisphere (down the center) central sulcus (central fissure) separates anterior and posterior of the brain; separates frontal and parietal lobe. sylvian fissure (lateral fissure) separates the lobes. Lobes 4 lobes that have different structures and functions ; each lobe takes care of some individual function. occipital lobe at the very back of head; function in vision.
