Document Summary
Cerebral hemispheres make up the vast majority of the brain structure rat brain has a larger portion of the brain devoted to subcortical regions underneath the cerebral hemispheres because they don"t need to absorb information. Gray matter = shaded border outlining the brain. Gray matter is the superficial layer of neurons, it is primarily cell bodies. White matter = connectivity in the brain to carry out many essential processes red lines = depict the types of connections the cortex has. We have many folds to increase brain sa. Between the sulci we have a gyrus. White matter = axons of the connections of the cerebral cortex with few or many neurons. Insular lobe is deep, you must pull away the frontal and parietal lobe away from the temporal lobe its located primarily under the temporal lobe. Research done in the lab showing how functionally pieces of the brain work together.
