Document Summary
On the outside, grey matter outlined, where the cell bodies are. Grey strucs located deep within the cerebrum: clusters of neuronal cell bodies that have a. 2 types of association fibres: long association fibres that connect farther, distal regions of the. These both are on one side of the brain. If short distance, short assoc fibre; if long distance, long assoc fibre. Projection fibres: connect cerebral cortex to spinal cord. The whole point is to get info from brain to spinal cord; need to send an axon from internal. Other major white matter fibre tracts are called the corona radiata; this projection fibre is going. All those axons bundled together down to the spinal cord, it looks like a radiating crown (corona. When bundled together into a projection fibre, it becomes the internal capsule. Right img: ventral and dorsal part of brain is carved out, and you can see the corpus callosum.
