What is the depression or groove in the surface of the cerebral cortex?

The depression or groove in the surface of the cerebral cortex is called a sulcus. Sulci are the shallow grooves, while deeper grooves are called fissures. They help to increase the surface area of the brain, allowing for more brain cells and more complex functions.


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.

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.


What are the key differences between clinical and non-clinical depression, and how can they be distinguished in terms of symptoms and treatment approaches?

Clinical depression, also known as major depressive disorder, is a diagnosable mental health condition that is characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and loss of interest in activities. Non-clinical depression, on the other hand, refers to temporary feelings of sadness or low mood that may not meet the criteria for a formal diagnosis. In terms of symptoms, clinical depression typically involves more severe and persistent symptoms that significantly impact daily functioning, while non-clinical depression may be milder and more short-lived. Treatment approaches for clinical depression often involve a combination of therapy and medication, while non-clinical depression may be managed through self-care strategies such as exercise, relaxation techniques, and social support. It is important to consult with a mental health professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan for either type of depression.

Why longitudinal grooves on bridges?

The grooves or "tining" placed on concrete bridge decks (surfaces) are created for for automobile tire traction when it rains and to help direct the water runoff. Typically the grooves are created in the transverse direction across the direction of automobile travel. More recently longitudinal grooves have gained favor because there is less noise generated when tires follow longitudinal grooves when compared to more noise generated when tires cross transverse grooves.
