THE CEREBRAL CORTEX 



The cerebrum consists of two large symmetrically paired lobes or 

 hemispheres connected by a bridge of white matter, the corpus callosum. 

 Each hemisphere includes essentially a central mass of white substance 

 or medulla, containing the internal nuclei or basal ganglia paired 

 masses of gray matter and a covering of gray substance, the cortex or 

 pallium. The cortex is greatly folded, thus becoming marked by con- 

 volutions or gyri with intervening fissures or sulci. The surface of each 

 hemisphere may be divided into four principal lobes: (1) the frontal 

 lobe, bounded posteriorly by the fissures of Eolando and Sylvius; (2) 

 the parietal lobe, extending from the fissure of Rolando in front to the 

 parieto-occipital fissure behind and the Sylvian fissure below; (3) the 

 occipital lobe, bounded anteriorly by the parie+o-occipital sulcus; and
