  2. Corpus callosum - Wikipedia

    Other groups do have other brain structures that allow for communication between the two hemispheres, such as the anterior commissure, which serves as the primary mode of interhemispheric communication in marsupials, [41] [42] and which carries all the commissural fibers arising from the neocortex (also known as the neopallium), whereas in ...

    There are two kinds: Type 1 crosses the sagittal plane in the same brain region or spinal segment where the cell body is located. Examples are Mauthner cells in fish and amphibians. Type 2 crosses the sagittal plane in a different brain region. Example: pyramidal decussations. The first type is known also for invertebrates, whereas the second ...

    These two crura are joined together through the hippocampal commissure. The beginning of the splitting is called the psalterium or Lyra Davidis . The latter name is used because the structure resembles a lyra (or triangular harp): The two crura are the "chassis" of the lyra, and the commissure connections are the fibers.

  5. Falx cerebri - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falx_cerebri

    The falx cerebri is a strong, crescent-shaped sheet of dura mater lying in the sagittal plane between the two cerebral hemispheres. [3] It is one of four dural partitions of the brain along with the falx cerebelli, tentorium cerebelli, and diaphragma sellae; it is formed through invagination of the dura mater into the longitudinal fissure between the cerebral hemispheres.

  6. Cingulate cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cingulate_cortex

    Sagittal MRI slice with highlighting indicating location of the cingulate cortex. Coronal section of brain. Cingulate cortex is shown in yellow. The cingulate cortex is a part of the brain situated in the medial aspect of the cerebral cortex.

  7. Cerebral cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_cortex

    The cerebral cortex, also known as the cerebral mantle, [1] is the outer layer of neural tissue of the cerebrum of the brain in humans and other mammals.It is the largest site of neural integration in the central nervous system, [2] and plays a key role in attention, perception, awareness, thought, memory, language, and consciousness.

  8. Cingulum (brain) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cingulum_(brain)

    It is located beneath the cingulate gyrus within the medial surface of the brain therefore encircling the entire brain. There are two primary parts of the cingulate cortex: the posterior cingulate cortex and the anterior cingulate cortex. The anterior is linked to emotion, especially apathy and depression. Here function and structure changes ...

  9. Models of communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Models_of_communication

    Many models of communication include the idea that a sender encodes a message and uses a channel to transmit it to a receiver. Noise may distort the message along the way. The receiver then decodes the message and gives some form of feedback. [1] Models of communication simplify or represent the process of communication.
