(Surface)

Longitudinal Fissure

The large fissure that seperates the two cerebral hemispheres.

(Surface)

Lateral Fissure

The large fissure that seperates the temporal lobe from the frontal lobe.

Central Fissure

(Surface)

The large fissure that seperates the frontal lobe from the parietal lobe.

Central Fissure

(Surface)

The large fissure that separates the frontal lobe from the parietal lobe.

Precentral Gyrus

(Surface)

The gyrus located just anterior to the central fissure; its  function is primarily motor areas.

Postcentral Gyrus

(Surface)

The gyrus located just posterior to the central fissure; its function is primarily somatosensory.

Frontal Lobe

(Lobes)

The most anterior of the four cerbral lobes.

Parietal Lobe

(Lobes)

One of the four lobes; it is located just posterior to the central fissure.

Occipital Lobe

(Lobe)

The most posterior of the four cerebral lobes; its function is primarily visual.

Temporal Lobe

(Lobe)

One of the four major cerebral lobes; it lies adjacent to the temples and contains the hippocampus and amygdala.

Olfactory Bulbs

(Olafactory tubercles)

The first cranial nerves, whose output goes primarily to the amygdala and piriform cortex.

Optic Chiasm

(underside)

(crisscross shape)

The X-shaped structure on the inferior surface of the diencephalon; the point where the opic nerves decussate.

Mammillary Bodies

(green)

The pair of spherical nuclei that are located on the inferior surface of the posterior hypothalamus.

Pons

(have a bulge appearance, above medulla)

The metencephalic structure that creates a bulge on the brain stem.

Medulla

(just above top of spinal cord)

(from pons down)

The myelencephalon.

Spinal Cord

Duh

  Cerebellum

(large structure at the base of brain)

(brown)

The metencephalic structure that has been shown to mediate the retention of Pavlovian eyeblink conditioning.

Corpus Callosum

(connects the two hemispheres)

(Green lines)

The largest cerebral commissure.
