    This document provides an overview of the major structures of the human brain: - It describes the 5 major divisions of the brain from forebrain to brainstem, including the telencephalon containing the cerebral cortex, diencephalon containing the thalamus and hypothalamus, mesencephalon, metencephalon, and myelencephalon. - Key structures like the basal ganglia, hippocampus, cerebellum, and brain stem are located. - The document outlines the lobes of the cerebral cortex, gyri and sulci, and ventricles of the brain. It highlights structures like the visual and frontal cortices.

    The key takeaways are the major divisions of the brain and an overview of the lobes of the cerebral cortex.

    The major divisions of the brain are: telencephalon, diencephalon, mesencephalon, metencephalon, and myelencephalon.

    The lobes of the cerebral cortex are: frontal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe, and temporal lobe.

    Summary

    •  Telencephalon: cerebral cortex; structures around lateral


    ventricle: basal ganglia, hippocampus
    •  Diencephalon: thalamus & hypothalamus
    •  Mesencephalon: colliculi & tegmentum
    •  Metencephalon: cerebellum & pons-brain stem
    •  Myelencephalon: transition to spinal cord
    Dorsal view of model •  Fissures: major
    groves; arise early in
    development
    –  Longitudinal fissure
    •  Sulcus (plural sulci)
    –  Central sulcus
    •  Cortex
    •  Precentral gyrus
    (primary motor
    cortex)
    •  Postcentral gyrus
    (primary
    somatosensory
    cortex)
    Lateral view of model •  Lateral fissure:
    border between
    temporal and
    frontal/parietal
    lobes
    •  Temporal lobe
    (superior gyrus:
    auditory cortex
    •  Central sulcus:
    border between
    frontal and
    parietal lobe
    •  Occipital lobe:

    The lobes of the cerebral cortex
    Cerebral cortex: gyri & sulci/

    the temporal lobe
    Rear view of model
    Corpus

    Ventral view, without cerebellum
    Visual pathways
    •  Primary visual
    cortex (=V1) is
    part of the
    occipital cortex;
    •  Most of it is inside
    the fissure!
    •  Main pathway:
    retinaLGN 
    V1  (V2+V3+
    V4+ V5) 
    temporal cortex
    AND parietal
    cortex
    The frontal
    lobe
    •  Major regions
    •  Cingulate
    sulcus: border
    between
    cingulate gyrus
    and overlying
    neocortex
    Medial (midsagittal) view of
    model
    Frontal section of brain:
    frontal cortex, basal ganglia, temporal, cortex
    Medial view of model
    •  Telencephalon
    –  Basal ganglia
    •  (with overlying blood vessels
    •  Diencephalon
    –  Thalamus
    •  With massa intermedia
    –  Hypothalamus
    –  3rd ventricle
    •  Midbrain
    –  Colliculus superior/inferior
    –  Tegmentum (brain stem)
    •  Metencephalon

    •  Pineal gland:
    –  part of
    diencephalon
    –  unpaired,
    –  produces
    melatonin
    Lateral ventricle: hippocampus & fornix
    Lateral ventricle: occipital horn; temporal horn;
    basal ganglia+insula next to frontal horn
    Basal ganglia
