PSYB65H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Medial Longitudinal Fissure, Visual Cortex, Basilar Artery
Document Summary
Diff lobes of cerebral cortex most complex. In reality most of the time you will be dealing with cc. There is inner structure to the brain, ventricles. This forms little mountains and valleys; we gave names to the mountains and valleys. Sulci pl. sulcus s. these are the valleys. If it is a major one/large it is a fissure. Mountains are known as gyrus s. , gyri pl. Brain is divided down the centre; right half and left half, 2 hemispheres. 2 sides of the body are not exactly the same, this is true for the brain too. Often say left brain and right brain, same thing. Right hemisphere receives info from left hand side of body, and controls left hand side of the body. Each side of the brain controls and receives info from the other side of the body. Separated by the longitudinal fissure; very large sulcus that divides the right and the left.
