What else can I help you with?
Small crescent-shaped fold of dura mater that separates the right and left cerebellar hemispheres?
The falx cerebelli invaginates into the cerebellar notch between the two cerebellar hemispheres. It doesn't actually separate the two hemispheres though. The falx cerebri separates the two cerebral hemispheres.
What is the cerebellar vermis?
a large portion of the brain, serving to coordinate voluntary movements, posture, and balance in humans, being in back of and below the cerebrum and consisting of two lateral lobes and a central lobe.
What is cerebral angiitis?
Cerebral angiitis is an inflammation of the small arteries in the brain.
Where in the body would a cerebral hemorrhage occurs?
A 'cerebral hemorrhage' means bleeding within the brain.
What happens when to blood as it passes through brain?
vertebral arteries pass through foramen magnum and reach the inferior of the brain & unite to from the basilar artery. The vertebral artery supplies the posterior of the brain. Basilar atery branches into posterior cerebral artery & cerebellar arteries that supply the cerebellum & pons. Common carotid arteries divide & the internal carotid supplies structures internal to the skull
What separate the cerebral hemispheres of the brain from the cerebellar hemispheres of the brain?
The transverse fissure.
What is the gray matter on the surface of the brain called?
Grey matter is distributed at the surface of the cerebral hemispheres (cerebral cortex) and of the cerebellum (cerebellar cortex), as well as in the depths of the cerebrum (thalamus; hypothalamus; subthalamus, basal ganglia - putamen, globus pallidus, nucleus accumbens; septal nuclei), cerebellar (deep cerebellar nuclei - dentate nucleus, globose nucleus, emboliform nucleus, fastigial nucleus), brainstem (substantia nigra, red nucleus, olivary nuclei, cranial nerve nuclei) and spinal grey matter (anterior horn, lateral horn, posterior horn).
The cortex is divided into two sections referred to as?
The cortex is divided into two sections referred to as the cerebral cortex and the cerebellar cortex.
What separates the cerebral hemispheres of the brain from the cerebellar hemispheres of the brain?
The cerebral hemispheres are connected by the corpus callosum.
What does prominence of the cerebral cortical sulci mean?
It's a sign of (severe) cerebral atrophy. It's being seen on CT or/and MRI scans of the brain. Generalized sulcal prominence diffusely is consistent with diffuse brain atrophy.
Is Huntington's Disease a defect of the cerebellar cortex?
No. Huntington's Disease is a pathological process affecting subcortical structures, not the cerebellar cortex. It does cause generalized atrophy of the cerebral cortex, over time, however. It is a genetic disorder, autosomal dominant in its transmission process, and occurring on chromosome number 4.
What is cerebellar tonsilar ectopia?
Cerebellar Tonsillar Ectopia refers to a hernia of the cerebellum in the brain. This condition is also known as a Chiari Malformation. It is corrected through a surgical process to decompress the brain.
Small crescent-shaped fold of dura mater that separates the right and left cerebellar hemispheres?
The falx cerebelli invaginates into the cerebellar notch between the two cerebellar hemispheres. It doesn't actually separate the two hemispheres though. The falx cerebri separates the two cerebral hemispheres.
How does the cerebral cortex change with aging?
Eventually, there occur both cortical atrophic changes along with sulcal widening and ventricular enlargement.
Name the major veins that take blood from the brain?
The major Veins of the Brain are,The External Cerebral Veins _ the Superior, Middle and the Inferior . The Internal Cerebral Veins right and left eventually form the Great Cerebral Vein, and the Superior Cerebellar Vein abd the Inferior Cerebellar Vein.
What is the function of cerebellar peduncles of the hindbrain?
The cerebellar peduncles are fiber tracts that connect the cerebellum to the brainstem. They serve as the main communication pathways for transmitting information between the cerebellum and other parts of the brain, such as the cerebral cortex, spinal cord, and brainstem. This communication is essential for coordinating motor movements, balance, and posture.
Where in the central nervous system is white matter?
White matter forms the bulk of the deep parts of the brain and the superficial parts of the spinal cord. Aggregates of gray matter such as the basal ganglia (caudate nucleus, putamen,globus pallidus, subthalamic nucleus, nucleus accumbens) and brain stem nuclei (red nucleus, substantia nigra, cranial nerve nuclei) are spread within the cerebral white matter. The cerebellum is structured in a similar manner as the cerebrum, with a superficial mantle of cerebellar cortex, deep cerebellar white matter (called the "arbor vitae") and aggregates of grey matter surrounded by deep cerebellar white matter (dentate nucleus, globose nucleus, emboliform nucleus, and fastigial nucleus). The fluid-filled cerebral ventricles (lateral ventricles,third ventricle, cerebral aqueduct, fourth ventricle) are also located deep within the cerebral white matter. Source: Link below.
