fissure of Sylvius and the central sulci is also referred to as fissure of Rolando. The folds created by the sulci increase the amount of cerebral cortex that can fit in the skull‚ in other words the surface area. Basal Nuclei and Cerebral Cortex Fibrils The term “basal nuclei” is applied to a collection of masses of gray matter situated within each cerebral hemisphere. In the central nervous system‚ a collection of neuron cell bodies‚ the soma and dendrites‚ is called a nucleus. This differs in

The brain‚ unlike the heart is the most important part of the body‚ it weighs up to three pounds and comprises the hefty cerebrum‚ cerebellum‚ and the brainstem. The cerebrum which is the largest portion performs all higher cognitive functions. The cerebellum is responsible for motor functions‚ such as the coordination of movement and balance. The brain stem is dedicated to involuntary functions such as breathing. The brain is comprised of the cerebrum‚ cerebellum‚ and brain stem The largest part

various studies over sign language users. In case of spoken language users‚ auditory speech processing activates right hemisphere. With bilinguals it was believed that all the languages (more than two languages also) are localized in the same cerebral areas. But this had a controversy. It is proved by some experiments that brain areas recruited for L1 (primary language or the mother tongue) learning and processing are different from those recruited for L2 (second language acquired).
