Punctate foci of the cerebral hemispheres are small areas of abnormal signal intensity seen on MRI images. They are typically found incidentally and can be caused by a variety of factors such as small vessel disease, migraines, or prior head trauma. Follow-up imaging or clinical evaluation may be needed to determine the significance of these findings.
The dural fold that projects into the longitudinal fissure between cerebral hemispheres is called the FALX CEREBRI.
Yes, unmyelinated cortical fibers can be found in the cerebral hemispheres. These fibers are a type of nerve cell projection that lack the protective myelin sheath, which is typically found in myelinated fibers. Unmyelinated fibers are involved in transmitting nerve impulses and can be found throughout the brain, including the cerebral hemispheres.
Corpus callosum are the band of fibers that connects the two cerebral hemispheres. The two cerebral hemispheres are intimately connected to each others. There is a incomplete partition in between them. It is called as falx cerebri. It is there to support the brain tissue from damage by sudden movement. You tend to call them 'two' hemispheres just because they looks two to you.

The corpus callosum is a thick band of nerve fibers that connects the left and right cerebral hemispheres. It facilitates communication and coordination between the two hemispheres, allowing them to work together in processing information and coordinating functions.
Punctate foci are 'lesions' on the brain, typically caused by unknown trauma to the brain or conditions where demyelination of brain tissue occurs. Punctate foci are identified by brain MRI, with and without contrast although using contrast normally provides a more accurate picture of all lesions. In layman's terms, punctate foci have also been described as 'popcorn calcifications' in the brain tissue. Some punctate foci are associated with normal aging process.

There is one major fissure that divides the cerebral hemispheres, called the longitudinal fissure. It separates the left and right hemispheres of the brain.

The embryonic origin of the cerebral hemispheres is from the neural ectoderm. The neural ectoderm is an area of tissue that forms in the center of the developing blastocyst.
