Longitudinal fissure

Index Longitudinal fissure

The longitudinal fissure (or cerebral fissure, medial longitudinal fissure, or interhemispheric fissure) is the deep groove that separates the two hemispheres of the vertebrate brain. [1]

8 relations: Brain, Cerebral hemisphere, Corpus callosum, Dura mater, Falx cerebri, Gyrus, Meninges, Sulcus (neuroanatomy).

Brain

The brain is an organ that serves as the center of the nervous system in all vertebrate and most invertebrate animals.

Cerebral hemisphere

The vertebrate cerebrum (brain) is formed by two cerebral hemispheres that are separated by a groove, the longitudinal fissure.

Corpus callosum

The corpus callosum (Latin for "tough body"), also callosal commissure, is a wide commissure, a flat bundle of commissural fibers, about 10 cm long beneath the cerebral cortex in the brains of placental mammals.

Dura mater

Dura mater, or dura, is a thick membrane made of dense irregular connective tissue that surrounds the brain and spinal cord.

Falx cerebri

The falx cerebri is also known as the cerebral falx, named from its sickle-like form.

Gyrus

In neuroanatomy, a gyrus (pl. gyri) is a ridge on the cerebral cortex.

Meninges

The meninges (singular: meninx, from membrane, adjectival: meningeal) are the three membranes that envelop the brain and spinal cord.

Sulcus (neuroanatomy)

In neuroanatomy, a sulcus (Latin: "furrow", pl. sulci) is a depression or groove in the cerebral cortex.
