The longitudinal fissure (or cerebral fissure, great longitudinal fissure, median longitudinal fissure, interhemispheric fissure) is the deep groove that separates the two cerebral hemispheres of the vertebrate brain. Lying within it is a continuation of the dura mater (one of the meninges) called the falx cerebri. [1]
The sulci and fissures are shallow and deep grooves respectively in the cortex. A sulcus is a shallow groove that surrounds a gyrus or part of a gyrus. A fissure is a deeper furrow that divides the brain into lobes and also into the two hemispheres as the longitudinal fissure. [4] Fissures are the most prominent and invariable of the sulci. [2]
The falx cerebri is a strong, crescent-shaped sheet of dura mater lying in the sagittal plane between the two cerebral hemispheres. [3] It is one of four dural partitions of the brain along with the falx cerebelli, tentorium cerebelli, and diaphragma sellae; it is formed through invagination of the dura mater into the longitudinal fissure between the cerebral hemispheres.
Opening longitudinal fissure which separates left and right cerebral hemispheres. Lateral surface. (The frontal pole is approximately at 10, the occipital pole is approximately at 17, and the temporal pole is approximately at 38.)
Horizontal fissure or Transverse fissure: found between the cerebrum and the cerebellum. Note that a "transverse fissure" can also be found in the liver and lungs. Longitudinal fissure or Medial longitudinal fissure: which divides the cerebrum into the two hemispheres. Occipitoparietal fissure: found between the occipital and parietal lobes of ...
It spans part of the longitudinal fissure, connecting the left and right cerebral hemispheres, enabling communication between them. It is the largest white matter structure in the human brain, about 10 cm (3.9 in) in length and consisting of 200–300 million axonal projections. [2] [3]
2. Hoppin’ John. Southerners are usually eating Hoppin’ John (a simmery mix of black-eyed peas and rice) on New Year's Day. Like most “vegetable” recipes from around this area, it contains ...
The superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF) is an association tract in the brain that is composed of three separate components. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is present in both hemispheres and can be found lateral to the centrum semiovale and connects the frontal , occipital , parietal , and temporal lobes . [ 2 ]
