Document Summary
Divided into 4 separate sections: cerebrum, cerebellum, diencephalon ( between brain ), and brain stem. The brain stem and diencephalon are the most primitive parts. Highest center of function found in the cerebrum. Disease in each part of the brain produces different clinical signs. Is made up of the gray matter of the cerebral cortex (outer layer of brain) and white matter fibres beneath the cortex, incl. the corpus callosum (set of fibres connecting 2 halves of the cerebral cortex) Largest part of the brain in domestic animals, associated w/ functions associated with higher order behaviours (learning, intelligence, awareness etc. ) Receives & interprets sensory info; intakes conscious (voluntary) nerve impulses to skeletal muscles; & integrates neuron activity associated w/ communication, expression of emotion, learning, memory and recall. It"s wrinkle appearance on the surface is due to the folds called gyri separated by grooves called fissures & shallower grooves called sulci.
