corpus callosum
The cerebral cortex is composed of two hemispheres: the left hemisphere and the right hemisphere. Each hemisphere controls the opposite side of the body and is responsible for different functions. The two hemispheres communicate with each other through a structure called the corpus callosum.
association tract
The brain has a left cerebral hemisphere and a right cerebral hemisphere, as well as a stem.
The nuclei deep within the cerebral hemisphere white matter are collectively called basal ganglia. These structures are involved in many motor functions and play a role in various cognitive functions as well.
The cerebral hemispheres are the largest part of the human brain and are responsible for higher brain functions such as thinking, perceiving, planning, and interpreting sensory information. The left hemisphere is often associated with language and logic, while the right hemisphere is more involved in creativity and spatial awareness. The two hemispheres are connected by a bundle of nerve fibers called the corpus callosum, allowing them to communicate and work together.
The H-shaped fissure of the brain is called the cruciate sulcus. It is found on the medial surface of the cerebral hemisphere.
Peers
Lateralization. This refers to the division of cognitive functions between the two hemispheres of the brain, with each hemisphere being specialized for certain tasks such as language processing, spatial awareness, and emotional regulation.
association fibers: unite different parts of the same cerebral hemisphere, and are of two kinds: (1) those connecting adjacent gyri, short association fibers; (2) those passing between more distant parts, long association fibers
The fiber tracts found in the cerebral hemisphere white matter are called association tracts if they connect two portions of the same hemisphere, projection tracts if they run between the cerebral cortex and the lower brain or spinal cord, and commissures if the run from one hemisphere to another.
