  2. Cerebellar hemisphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebellar_hemisphere

    Cerebellar hemisphere. Not to be confused with Cerebral hemisphere. Left cerebellar hemisphere. Right cerebellar hemisphere. Schematic representation of the major anatomical subdivisions of the cerebellum. Superior view of an "unrolled" cerebellum, placing the vermis in one plane. The cerebellum consists of three parts, a median and two lateral ...

  3. Cerebral hemisphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_hemisphere

    Cerebral hemisphere. Human brain seen from front. The vertebrate cerebrum (brain) is formed by two cerebral hemispheres that are separated by a groove, the longitudinal fissure. The brain can thus be described as being divided into left and right cerebral hemispheres. Each of these hemispheres has an outer layer of grey matter, the cerebral ...

  4. Lateralization of brain function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateralization_of_brain...

    The lateralization of brain function (or hemispheric dominance[1][2] / lateralization [3][4]) is the tendency for some neural functions or cognitive processes to be specialized to one side of the brain or the other. The median longitudinal fissure separates the human brain into two distinct cerebral hemispheres, connected by the corpus callosum ...

  5. Brain asymmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_asymmetry

    The left and right hemispheres operate the contralateral sides of the body. Each hemisphere contains sections of all 4 lobes: the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, and occipital lobe. The two hemispheres are separated along the mediated longitudinal fissure and are connected by the corpus callosum which allows for communication and ...

  6. Cerebrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebrum

    The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain. Depending upon the position of the animal, it lies either in front or on top of the brainstem. In humans, the cerebrum is the largest and best-developed of the five major divisions of the brain. The cerebrum is made up of the two cerebral hemispheres and their cerebral cortices (the outer layers of ...

  7. Contralateral brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contralateral_brain

    Contralateral brain. The contralateral organization of the forebrain (Latin: contra‚ against; latus‚ side; lateral‚ sided) is the property that the hemispheres of the cerebrum and the thalamus represent mainly the contralateral side of the body. Consequently, the left side of the forebrain mostly represents the right side of the body, and ...

  8. Brodmann area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brodmann_area

    68596. Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy. [edit on Wikidata] A Brodmann area is a region of the cerebral cortex, in the human or other [citation needed] primate brain, defined by its cytoarchitecture, or histological structure and organization of cells. The concept was first introduced by the German anatomist Korbinian Brodmann in the early 20th ...

  9. Lateral ventricles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_ventricles

    The lateral ventricles are the two largest ventricles of the brain and contain cerebrospinal fluid. [1] Each cerebral hemisphere contains a lateral ventricle, known as the left or right lateral ventricle, respectively. Each lateral ventricle resembles a C-shaped cavity that begins at an inferior horn in the temporal lobe, travels through a body ...
