CEREBRUM
Lateral or
superolateral:
Medial:
Flat & vertical and
related to the falx
cerebri & median
longitudinal fissure.
Inferior:
Divided into orbital and
tentorial parts by the
stem of lateral sulcus.
CEREBRUM :
SURFACES
Four borders:
1- Medial or
Superomedial
border:
border Between
lateral & medial
surfaces.
2- Inferolateral
border: Between
lateral & inferior
surfaces.
Its anterior part
may be called
superciliary border.
3- Medial orbital
border.
4- Medial occipital
border.

3 POLES & 4
LOBES
Each hemisphere has
3 poles:
1- Frontal pole.
2- Occipital pole.
3- Temporal pole.
Also, each hemisphere
has 4 lobes:
1- Frontal lobe.
2- Temporal lobe
3- Parietal lobe.
4- Occipital lobe.

SULCI
ON THE LATERAL
SURFACE
Pre-central gyrus:
Between central &
precentral sulci.
Postcentral
gyrus :
Between central &
post-central sulci.
Superior, middle &
inferior frontal gyri.
Superior, middle &
inferior temporal
gyri.
Superior & inferior
parietal lobules.
Angular gyrus
GYRI
ON THE LATERAL
SURFACE
Callosal sulcus:
sulcus just above
the corpus callosum.
Cingulate sulcus:
sulcus one inch
above & parallel to the
callosal sulcus.
Parieto-occipital sulcus:
sulcus
begins in the upper border 4
cm in front of the occipital
pole
It ends at the meeting of
calcarine & postcalcarine
sulci.
Calcarine:
Begins below the splenium
then passes backwards and
upwards to meet the parietoocipital sulcus then
continuous as the
postcalcarine sulcus.
Postcalcarine sulcus: It is
an extension of the calcarine.
SULCI
ON THE MEDIAL
SURFACE
Cingulate gyrus:
Between the
callosal & cingulate
sulci.
Paracentral lobule:
lobule
It is the continuation
of the precentral &
postcentral gyri.
Precuneus: behind
the paracentral
lobule.
Cuneus: between
the parieto-ocipital
& postcalcarine
sulci.
GYRI
ON THE MEDIAL
SURFACE
Olfactory sulcus:
Close & parallel to the
medial orbital margin.
Orbital sulcus:
Irregular H- shaped lateral
to olfactory sulcus.
Stem of lateral sulcus:
It divides the inferior
Surface into, orbital &
tentorial parts.
Rhinal sulcus:
A short sulcus on the
temporal pole.
Collateral sulcus:
Behind the rhinal sulcus and
extends to the occipital
pole.
Occipitotemporal sulcus:
Lateral to the collateral
sulcus
It extends from temporal to
occipital poles..
SULCI
ON THE INFERIOR
SURFACE
Gyrus rectus:
rectus
Medial to the olfactory
sulcus.
Orbital gyri;
Anterior, posterior, medial
and lateral, orbital gyri.
Lateral occipitotemporal
gyrus: Lateral to
occipitotemporal sulcus.
Medial occipitotemporal
gyrus:
gyrus Medial to
occipitotemporal sulcus.
Parahippocampal gyrus:
Medial to collateral sulcus.
Lingual gyrus:
gyrus
Between collateral &
calcarine sulci.
Uncus: Anterior end of the
Parahippocampal gyrus
It is the smell center.

IMPORTANT CENTERS OF
THE CEREBRAL CORTEX
OR
MAIN FUNCTIONAL
AREAS OF THE
CEREBRAL CORTEX
Posterior part of
the cerebrum
receives sensory
information in:
1- Parietal lobe
(Somatosensory),
2- Occipital lobe
(Vision),
3- Temporal lobe
(Hearing).
Information is
elaborated to the
association cortex,
( at the meeting of the
parietal, temporal &
occipital) for
identification by
touch, sight &
hearing.
The limbic
system (medial
part of cerebrum)
enable storage &
retrieval of the
information
processed in the
posterior cortex.
MOTOR
AREA
PRIMARY MOTOR
CORTEX (PMC)
Lies anterior to
primary motor cortex.
Brodmanns area 6.
6
It includes the
posterior parts of
superior, middle &
inferior frontal gyri.
Function:
Programming &
preparing for
movement and
control of posture.
It receives its afferent
from ventral anterior
nucleus of thalamus.
PREMOTOR
CORTEX
SUPPLEMENTARY
MOTOR
CORTEX
It lies in posterior
part of the middle
fontal gyrus.
It is corresponding to;
Brodmann's area 8
It controls conjugate
movement of the
eye.
Unilateral damage to
area 8 causes
conjugate deviation
of the eyes to the
side of the lesion.
FRONTAL EYE
FIELD
MOTOR SPEECH
AREA
BROCAS AREA
Lies anterior to
premotor area.
It has rich
connections with
parietal, temporal
and occipital cortex.
Functions:
Intellect.
Judgment.
Prediction.
Motivation
Planning of
behaviour.
PREFRONTAL
CORTEX
PRIMARY
SOMATOSENSORY
CORTEX
VPN receives:
1-Medial lemniscus
(Fine touch &
proprioception).
2-Spinal lemniscus
(coarse touch & pressure).
3-Spiothalamic tract
(pain & temperature).
4- Trigeminothalamic
tract (general sensation
from head)
PRIMARY AUDITORY
CORTEX
SECONDARY AUDITORY
CORTEX
or
AUDITORY ASSOCIATION
CORTEX
PRIMARY VISUAL
CORTEX
Brodmanns
areas 18,19 are
called visual
association
cortex.
They are
interpretive to
the visual image.
Lesion: visual
agnosia,
(inability to
recognize a seen
object).
