The cerebral cortext consists of two ridges:
▪ Sulcus
▪ Gyrus
the cerebrum is formed from 2 cerebral hemispheres within which each
hemisphere is then divided into 4 areas called lobes:
Frontal lobe: invloves personality, behaviour, emotions, speech such as speaking and writing
(brocas area) as well as body movements (motor strip)
Pareital lobe: sense of touch, pain, temperature (sensory strip)
Occipital lobe: vision (colour, light, movement)
Temporal lobe: hearing
