Document Summary
Cerebral cortex- takes up vast majority of the human brain. Cerebral hemisphere is made up of different lobes. It has formed in a sense little mountains and little valleys. The first one is a sulci or sulcus, these are the valleys, if they are really huge they are called fishers. The mountains are known as guyri or guyrus. First thing you should realize if you look at the top of it you would see the brain is divided into two in the centre, there is the right hemisphere and the left hemisphere. We often call it the right brain and the left brain. The right side of the brain receives information from the left side of your body and controls the left side of the brain. Basically each side of the brain receives information and controls the opposite side of the body. The two sides are divided by the longitudinal fisher, it is a very large sulcas.
