Definitions
Cerebrum (Telencephalon)
Largest portion of the
Central Nervous System
, the Cerebrum contains the cerebral cortex (two hemispheres)
The Cerebrum also includes the subcortical structures (hippocampus,
Basal Ganglia
, amygdala and the
Olfactory Bulb
)
Anatomy
Anatomical landmarks (divide the cerebral lobes into further identifiable regions)
Brain Gyri
Brain sulci and Brain Fissures
Brodmann Areas
Established brain regions by histology in the early 1900s by German researcher
Brain Lobes
Frontal Lobe
Anterior to the central sulcus of Rolando (where the
Frontal Lobe
meets the
Parietal Lobe
)
Parietal Lobe
Occipital Lobe
Temporal Lobe
Inferior to the Lateral Fissue of Sylvia (where the
Temporal Lobe
meets the
Frontal Lobe
and
Parietal Lobe
)
Internal Capsule
Bundles of axons coursing between the cerebral cortex and the
Brainstem
(one for each hemisphere)
Composed of three parts: Anterior limb, posterior limb, and genu
Vascular supply via the
Anterior Circulation
Supplied by small vessels (anterior
Choroid
al artery, medial striate artery, lateral striate artery)
Hemorrhage
may occur in the supplying vessels with
Severe Hypertension
CVA in this region (despite small distribution) may result in significant neurologic deficits
