The central sulcus is a deep groove (or furrow) in the brain that separates the frontal and parietal lobes of the cerebrum. The frontal lobe is known as the motor cotrex and the parietal lobe is known as the sensory cortex. the central sulcus has a 'map' of the human body on each side that corresponds to the other side. So when the sensory part is stimulated, its associated motor part is right across the sulcus. The model of the human body in relation to how many nerves are associated with each body part is called a homonculus and you can see one in one of the links below:
The folds in the cerebral cortex are called sulci (singular: sulcus) and gyri (singular: gyrus). Sulci are the grooves or furrows, while gyri are the ridges or bumps on the brain's surface. These folds increase the surface area of the brain, allowing for more neurons to be packed within the limited space of the skull.
The name given to the valleys on the surface of the cerebral cortex is "sulci," while the raised ridges are called "gyri." These folds increase the surface area of the brain, allowing for more neurons and synapses to fit within the skull.
They are called sulci (plural of sulcus).
False. The deep grooves within the cerebral hemispheres are known as sulci, while the raised folds are called gyri.
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.
The inward folds of cerebral tissue are called fissures or sulci. The sulci is surrounded by other depressions or grooves known as gyri.
The inward folds of cerebral tissue are known as sulci. They are grooves or furrows that separate the gyri, which are the raised folds of the cerebral cortex. Sulci increase the surface area of the brain, allowing for more complex functions to be carried out.
The inward folds of cerebral tissue are called fissures or sulci. The sulci is surrounded by other depressions or grooves known as gyri.
The cerebral does moderate generalized volume loss with prominence of the ventricles and cerebral cortical sulci. It refers to the brain volume loss.
The fissures or the sulci are the inward folds of cerebral tissue.

A ridge or elevation of the cerebral cortex is a gyrus (plural gyri). The infoldings are sulci (singular sulcus).
The folds in the cerebral cortex are called sulci (singular: sulcus) and gyri (singular: gyrus). Sulci are the grooves or furrows, while gyri are the ridges or bumps on the brain's surface. These folds increase the surface area of the brain, allowing for more neurons to be packed within the limited space of the skull.
The inward folds of cerebral tissue are called sulci. These are narrow fissures that separate adjacent convolutions of the brain.
The Sulcus is a shallow furrow on the surface of the brain separating convolutions.
