gyri

Examples of gyri in the following topics:

• Sensory Areas

  • The primary auditory cortex is located on the transverse gyri that lie on the back of the superior temporal convolution of the temporal lobes.

• Meninges

  • It is the meningeal envelope that firmly adheres to the surface of the brain and spinal cord, following the brain's minor contours (gyri and sulci).

• Body Cavity Membranes

  • It is the meningeal envelope which firmly adheres to the surface of the brain and spinal cord, following the brain's minor contours (gyri and sulci).

• Overview of the Cerebrum

  • In larger mammals, the cerebral cortex is folded into many gyri and sulci, which allows it to expand in surface area without taking up much greater volume.

• Cerebral Lobes

  • At the front edge of the occipital there are several lateral occipital gyri separated by lateral occipital sulci.

• White Matter of the Cerebrum

  • Long association fibers connect different lobes of a hemisphere to each other, whereas short association fibers connect different gyri within a single lobe.

• Mapping the Primary Somatosensory Area

  • These are then transmitted from the gyri to the brain stem and spinal cord via corresponding sensory or motor nerves.
