  2. Cerebrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebrum

    The cerebrum (pl.: cerebra), telencephalon or endbrain [1] is the largest part of the brain, containing the cerebral cortex (of the two cerebral hemispheres) as well as several subcortical structures, including the hippocampus, basal ganglia, and olfactory bulb. In the human brain, the cerebrum is the uppermost region of the central nervous system.

    The frontal lobe is located at the front of each cerebral hemisphere and positioned in front of the parietal lobe and above and in front of the temporal lobe.It is separated from the parietal lobe by a space between tissues called the central sulcus, and from the temporal lobe by a deep fold called the lateral sulcus, also called the Sylvian fissure.

    Dandy Walker malformation is a relatively common congenital brain malformation with a prevalence of 1:30,000 live births. [17] Dandy Walker malformation is characterized by enlarged posterior fossa and in which the cerebellar vermis is completely absent, or present in a rudimentary form, sometimes rotated accompanied by an elevation of the ...

    The brain is the central organ of the human nervous system, and with the spinal cord, comprises the central nervous system. It consists of the cerebrum, the brainstem and the cerebellum. The brain controls most of the activities of the body, processing, integrating, and coordinating the information it receives from the sensory nervous system ...

  7. Intracranial hemorrhage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intracranial_hemorrhage

    Such hemorrhages are typically located in the basal ganglia, cerebellum, or occipital lobes. Other location such as bleed within the cerebral cortex and intracranial bleed in people younger than 50 years should prompt further investigations on other causes of bleed such as brain tumour or cerebral arteriovenous malformation. The bleed can be ...

  8. Temporal lobe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporal_lobe

    The temporal lobe is located beneath the lateral fissure on both cerebral hemispheres of the mammalian brain. [ 3 ] The temporal lobe is involved in processing sensory input into derived meanings for the appropriate retention of visual memory , language comprehension , and emotion association.

  9. Cerebellar tonsil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebellar_tonsil

    A Type I Chiari malformation is a congenital anomaly of the brain in which the cerebellar tonsils are elongated and pushed down through the opening of the base of the skull (see foramen magnum), blocking the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) as it exits through the medial and lateral apertures of the fourth ventricle. Also called cerebellar ...
