7. Sulci - The “valleys” on the surface of the brain Sulci - The “valleys” on the surface of the brain Gyri - The “Hills” Gyri - The “Hills”

8. The term “gyrus” is sometimes used broadly and doesn’t always refer to a single well-defined ridge on the surface of the brain. The distinctions between large gyri are sometimes better seen in coronal sections.

16. Developmental and Evolutionary Origins: The “Cephalons”

17. Developmental Origins Areas of the Brain can be characterized by the embryonic origins of the tissue. Nervous system begins as a tube that differentiates into three vessicles: Prosencephalon Mesencephalon Rhombencephalon Three Vessicle Stage

18. Developmental Origins Prosencephalon differentiates: Telencephalon -- beginnings of hemispheres Diencephalon Rhombencehphalon differentiates Metencephalon Meyelencephalon We use this terminology to describe the parts of the brain that develop from these vessicles Five Vessicle Stage
