fissure of Sylvius Sylvian fissure lateral cerebral sulcus sulcus lateralis cerebri | the deepest and most prominent of the cortical fissures, separates the frontal lobes and temporal lobes in both hemispheres |
cerebral artery arteria cerebri | any of the arteries supplying blood to the cerebral cortex |
anterior cerebral artery | one of two branches of the internal carotid artery, divides into two branches that serve () the thalamus and () parts of the frontal and parietal cortex |
middle cerebral artery | one of two branches of the internal carotid artery, divides into three branches |
posterior cerebral artery | arises from the basilar artery, divides into three branches |
cerebral vein vena cerebri | any of several veins serving the cerebral hemispheres of the brain |
anterior cerebral vein vena cerebri anterior | accompanies the anterior cerebral artery and empties into the basal vein |
great cerebral vein vena cerebri magna | a cerebral vein formed by the two internal cerebral veins and continuing into the sinus rectus |
inferior cerebral vein venae cerebrum inferior | veins that drain the undersurface of the cerebral hemispheres and empty into the cavernous and transverse sinuses |
internal cerebral vein vena cerebrum internus | two paired veins passing caudally near the midline and uniting to form the great cerebral vein |
middle cerebral vein vena cerebri media | either of two cerebral veins |
deep middle cerebral vein | accompanies the middle cerebral artery deep in the Sylvian fissure, empties into the basal vein |
superficial middle cerebral vein | a large vein along the line of the Sylvian fissure to the cavernous sinus |
superior cerebral vein vena cerebrum superior | a cerebral vein that drains the dorsal convexity of the cerebral hemisphere and empties into the cavernous sinus |
peduncle cerebral peduncle | a bundle of myelinated neurons joining different parts of the brain |
hemisphere cerebral hemisphere | either half of the cerebrum |
cerebral cortex cerebral mantle pallium cortex | the layer of unmyelinated neurons (the grey matter) forming the cortex of the cerebrum |
cerebral aqueduct Sylvian aqueduct aqueductus cerebri | a canal connecting the third and fourth ventricles |
brain death cerebral death | death when respiration and other reflexes are absent, consciousness is gone, organs can be removed for transplantation before the heartbeat stops |
cerebral palsy spastic paralysis | a loss or deficiency of motor control with involuntary spasms caused by permanent brain damage present at birth |
cerebral thrombosis | a blood clot in a cerebral artery or vein |
cerebral aneurysm | an aneurysm of the carotid artery |
cerebral edema brain edema | swelling of the brain due to the uptake of water in the neuropile and white matter |
cerebral hemorrhage | bleeding from a ruptured blood vessel in the brain |
cerebral intellectual | involving intelligence rather than emotions or instinct, a cerebral approach to the problem, cerebral drama |
cerebral | of or relating to the cerebrum or brain, cerebral hemisphere, cerebral activity |
