Deep grooves in the brain a sign of intelligence?

The deep grooves are called sulci(sing. sulcus) while raised portions are called gyri(which are bulged portions between two adjacent sulci). The number of gyri determines the intelligence of a person, as more the convolutions, more will be the surface area of the cortex.


Is it true or false that the deep grooves within the cerebral hemispheres are known as gyri?

False. The deep grooves within the cerebral hemispheres are known as sulci, while the raised folds are called gyri.


Brain covered with folds and grooves?

The brain is covered in ridges (gyri) ans grooves (sulci).


What is the difference between gyri and sulci?

Parts of the Brain: Cerebrum-largest part of brain, 7/8 total mass of the brain. * 2 cerebral hemispheres: # ridges- gyri # grooves- sulci *Gyrus(gyri)-is a ridge on the cerebral cortex. Folds on the brain material. Many ridgescalled convolutions, or gyri, or gyrus, separated by grooves, mark the cerebrum's surface. *Sulcus(sulci)-shallow grooves on the brain. Generally, a shallow to somewhat deep groove is called a sulcus, or sulci, and a very deep groove is called a fissure.


What part of the brain has ridges and grooves on it?

The ridges and grooves on the brain are found on the cerebral cortex, which is the outermost layer of the brain. These ridges and grooves are known as gyri (ridges) and sulci (grooves), and they increase the surface area of the brain, allowing for more neural connections and processing power.

Does the cerebellum exhibit fold called gyri separated by grooves called sulci?

No, the cerebellum does not typically exhibit gyri and sulci like the cerebral cortex. Instead, it has a finely folded surface with folia (small ridges) and deep grooves called fissures.
