The right and left cerebral hemispheres are connected by a thick C-shaped bundle of fibers called the
corpus callosum
.
The brain has four major chambers called
ventricles
, which are filled with cerebrospinal fluid.
The white matter of the cerebellum is arranged in a branching pattern called the
arbor vitae
.
The crossing of CNS pathways from the right side of the body to the left, or vice versa, is called
decussation
.
Each ventricle contains a
choroid plexus
that secretes cerebrospinal fluid.
The primary motor area of the cerebrum is the
precentral
gyrus of the frontal lobe.
The sense of reward and punishment resides in a ring of structures called the
limbic system
system.
Areas of cerebral cortex that identify or interpret sensory input are called
association areas
.
Linear, verbal, and analytical thinking occur in the
cateorical
hemisphere of the cerebrum, which is on the left in most people.
The motor pattern for speech is generated in an area of cortex called
Broca's area
and then transmitted to the primary motor cortex to be executed.
