  2. 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.

  3. Meningioma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meningioma

    Meningioma, also known as meningeal tumor, is typically a slow-growing tumor that forms from the meninges, the membranous layers surrounding the brain and spinal cord. [1] Symptoms depend on the location and occur as a result of the tumor pressing on nearby tissue. [3] [6] Many cases never produce symptoms. [2]

  4. Parietal lobe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parietal_lobe

    Animation. Parietal lobe (red) of left cerebral hemisphere. The parietal lobe is defined by three anatomical boundaries: The central sulcus separates the parietal lobe from the frontal lobe; the parieto-occipital sulcus separates the parietal and occipital lobes; the lateral sulcus (sylvian fissure) is the most lateral boundary, separating it from the temporal lobe; and the longitudinal ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parieto-occipital_sulcus

    In neuroanatomy, the parieto-occipital sulcus (also called the parieto-occipital fissure) is a deep sulcus in the cerebral cortex that marks the boundary between the cuneus and precuneus, and also between the parietal and occipital lobes.

    The dura mater (Latin: tough mother), [6] [a] is a thick, durable membrane, closest to the skull and vertebrae.The dura mater, the outermost part, is a loosely arranged, fibroelastic layer of cells, characterized by multiple interdigitating cell processes, no extracellular collagen, [citation needed] and significant extracellular spaces.

  7. Superior frontal gyrus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_frontal_gyrus

    The superior frontal gyrus (SFG) may play a role in executive functions such as self-monitoring, working memory, organization, and planning. In a 2006 study, patients with left prefrontal lesions on the SFG exhibited poorer results on working memory tasks than the control group.

  8. Neurofibromatosis type II - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurofibromatosis_type_II

    Neurofibromatosis type II (also known as MISME syndrome – multiple inherited schwannomas, meningiomas, and ependymomas) is a genetic condition that may be inherited or may arise spontaneously, and causes benign tumors of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves.

  9. Occipital lobe - Wikipedia

    The first procedure consisted of location tasks. The second procedure was in a lit-room where participants were shown stimuli on a screen for 600 ms. They found that the two pathways play a role in shape perception even though location processing continues to lie within the dorsal stream. [3] The dorsomedial (DM) is not as thoroughly studied.
