Joel Havemann (from A Life Shaken, 2002) What seems astonishing is that a mere three-pound object, made of the same atoms that constitute
everything else under the sun, is capable of directing virtually everything that humans have done: flying to the moon and hitting seventy home runs, writing Hamlet and building the Taj Mahal -- even unlocking
the secrets of the brain itself.
Ivan Petrovich Pavlov (1849-1936; in a lecture given in 1913 and published in Lectures on conditioned reflexes. Twenty-five year of objective study of the higher nervous activity [behavior] of animals, London: Martin Lawrence, 1928, p. 222.) If we could look through the skull into the brain of a consciously thinking person, and if the place of optimal excitability were luminous, then we should see playing over the cerebral surface, a bright spot with fantastic, waving borders constantly fluctuating in size and form, surrounded by a darkness more or less deep, covering the rest of the hemisphere.

OBJECTIVES
Describe the Anatomical Organization of the Cerebral Cortex
1. Identify the lobes of the cerebral cortex and their borders including the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, occipital lobe, cingulate lobe, and insula.
2. Describe the general function of each cortical lobe
3. Identify specific sulci in the cerebral cortex including the central sulcus, pre-central sulcus, post-central sulcus, lateral sulcus, calcarine sulcus, cingulate sulcus, and parieto-occipital suclus.
4. Identify specific gyri in the cerebral cortex including the precentral gyrus, postcentral gyrus, parahippocampal gyrus, superior temporal gyrus, inferior frontal gyrus and cingulate gyrus.
5. Recognize what is meant by Brodmann’s Areas.
6. Recognize the motor and sensory homunculi in the primary motor and sensory cortex
7. Differentiate between interhemispheric and intrahemispheric fiber tracts that link different regions of the cerebral cortex. 8. Differentiate between neocortex, archicortex and paleocortex, give examples of each.
9. Locate and describe the axons contained within the internal capsule
10. List the names of the major arterial branches arising from the internal carotid and vertebral arteries and the regions of the CNS that each vessel supplies
2. SUBCORTICAL – Collection Of Nuclei In Deep White Matter Below Cortex. Primarily These Consist Primarily Of Nuclei Called The Basal Ganglia (More Later). 3. LIMBIC – Hippocampus, Amygdala

DIVISIONS of the FOREBRAIN
ASSOCIATED FIBER TRACTS: Internal Capsule Corpus Callosum Anterior Commissure Superior Longitudinal Fasciculus
The outer mantle, consisting of neurons that are distributed in 3-6 layers, is very thin measuring 1.5-4.5 mm.
There are 10-15 billion neurons, 50 billion glial cells, 100,000 km of axons, and 10 14 synapses in the cerebral cortex.
Highly infolded. If laid out flat it would be ~ 2 square feet. About 1/3 of cortex is visible and 2/3 is located in sulci and fissures
A. Isocortex (Homogeneous) Consisting Of: Neocortex Which Represents 90 -95% Of The Cortex In Humans. All Of The Cortex That Is Seen On Outside Of Brain. Most Recently Evolved Cortex - Plays A critical role in abilities and activities that reach highest level of
development in humans
DIVISIONS OF THE CORTEX
B. Allocortex (Gr. “Other”) – Consisting Of: Archicortex (i.e., Hippocampus) Paleocortex (Parahippocampal Gyrus of Temporal Lobe, Olfactory Cortex, Cingulate Cortex).
