CEREBRUM
BY PROF. DR. ANSARI
(FOR BDS SEMESTER-II STUDENTS ONLY)

CEREBRUM • Is the largest portion of the human brain.• It consists of two cerebral hemispheres, which develop from
the embryonic forebrain. • These hemispheres have an outer convoluted layer of
gray matter – the cerebral cortex – and an inner layer of white matter.
• The two halves are linked by the corpus callosum. • Each hemisphere of the cerebrum is subdivided into four
lobes visible from the outside. They are the frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal lobes.
The cerebrum is the integrating center for memory, learning, emotions, and other highly complex functions of the central nervous system.

Lobes of the cerebrum

Insula
• It is the slow growing and hidden part of cerebrum, submerged by frontal lobe, parietal, & temporal lobes.
• The middle cerebral artery emerges out from the lateral sulcus and distributes to the superolateral surface of hemisphere.
• The circular sulcus is seen in the insula.

The surface of cerebral hemisphere
• Shows various sulci and gyri, a modification of surface of brain to accommodate large amount of brain tissue within a limited space.
• There are three surfaces of cerebral hemispheres.
• Superolateral surface, inferior surface and medial surface.

Superolateral surface
• The following important gyri and sulci are seen :-• Central sulcus, precentral gyrus, post central
gyrus.• Frontal lobe has superior frontal gyrus, middle
frontal gyrus and inferior frontal gyrus.• The inferior frontal gyrus has cortical centre for
speech, Broca’s area.• The lateral sulcus separates the temporal lobe
from frontal.

The temporal lobe
• Has three gyri, superior, middle and inferior temporal gyri.
• By the help of 2 sulci, superior and inferior temporal sulci, there are three temporal gyri.
• The superior temporal gyrus is having the site for hearing, Heschel’s gyrus.

The dominant hemisphere
• The left side of the brain controls movement of the right side of the body, and the right side of the brain controls movement of the left half of the body.
• For most of us, the left side of the brain is the side necessary for speech. The dominant hemisphere.

The parietal lobe
• It has intraparietal sulcus that divides the parietal lobe into superior parietal lobule and inferior parietal lobule.
• Involved in perception of stimuli related to touch, pressure, temperature, and pain.
• This region of the brain helps people understand what they see and feel.
• It also controls how they understand and process information about the environment around them, such as distance and position of objects.

Each lobe is associated with:-
• Frontal Lobe- associated with reasoning, planning, parts of speech, movement, emotions, and problem solving
• Parietal Lobe- associated with movement, orientation, recognition, perception of stimuli
• Occipital Lobe- associated with visual processing • Temporal Lobe- associated with perception and
recognition of auditory stimuli, memory, and speech
04/12/2023 19
Frontal lobe
• You are who you are because of this lobe.• This area determines personality and
emotions. • It's also involved in controlling judgment,
impulses, sexual behavior, language and movement.
04/12/2023 20
Prefrontal lobotomy
• Prefrontal lobotomy was performed to control the aggressive/violent behavior /undesirable behavior of prison inmates/mental asylum patients.
• The original lobotomy operation is now rarely performed, if ever, although many countries still accept psychosurgery as a form of radical control of violent behavior (Japan, Australia, Sweden and India are among them).
04/12/2023 21
The visual center is located in occipital lobe
• This area determines if you understand what you're looking at.
• Damage to the occipital lobe could cause hallucinations, make objects appear larger or smaller then they are or make the colors look abnormal.
04/12/2023 22
The temporal lobe
• This region controls your hearing and the ability to recognize words.
• It can also affect memory. • Damage to the left side of this lobe can cause
problems remembering what people said. • Damage to the right side might stop you from
recalling music or pictures.

Inferior surface of cerebral hemisphere
• It has a large tentorial surface and an orbital surface.
• The orbital sulcus is an “H” shaped sulcus, dividing the orbital gyri into, medial orbital gyrus, lateral orbital gyrus, anterior and posterior orbital gyrus.
• There is an olfactory sulcus lodging the olfactory tract, medial to it is gyrus rectus.

Uncinate fits are preceded by hallucination of disagreeable odors

Applied anatomy of uncus
• In situations of tumor, hemorrhage, or edema, increased volume of the temporal lobe can push the uncus against the brainstem and its corresponding cranial nerves.
• If the uncus becomes herniated the structure lying just medial to it, cranial nerve III, can become compressed.
• This causes problems associated with a non-functional or problematic CNIII - pupil on ipsilateral side fails to constrict to light, etc.
• Brainstem damage is typically ipsilateral to the herniation
