<para id="fs-idm9834576">The outermost part of the brain is a thick piece of nervous system tissue called the <emphasis>cerebral cortex</emphasis>, which is folded into hills called <emphasis>gyri</emphasis> (singular: gyrus) and valleys called <emphasis>sulci</emphasis> (singular: sulcus).

A thick fiber bundle called the <emphasis>corpus callosum</emphasis> (Latin: “tough body”) connects the two hemispheres and allows information to be passed from one side to the other.

<media id="Figure_35_03_02" alt="Illustration shows coronal (front) and sagittal (side) sections of a human brain. In the coronal section, the large upper part of the brain, called the cerebral cortex, is divided into left and right hemispheres. A cavity resembling butterfly wings exists between the left and right cortex. The corpus callosum is a band that connects the two hemispheres together, just above this cavity. The surface of the cerebral cortex contains bumpy protrusions called gyri. The cerebral cortex is anchored by the brain stem, which connects with the spinal cord. On either side of the brainstem tucked beneath the cerebral cortex is the cerebellum. The surface of the cerebellum is bumpy, but not as bumpy as the cerebral cortex. The sagittal section reveals that the cerebral cortex makes up the front and top part of the brain, while the brainstem and cerebellum make up the lower back part. The oval thalamus sits in the cavity in the middle of the cerebral cortex. The corpus callosum wraps around the top part thalamus. The basal ganglia wraps around the corpus callosum, starting at the lower front part of the brain and continuing three-quarters of the way around so the back end almost meets the front end. The basal ganglia is separated into segments that are connected along the top and bottom. The amygdala is a spherical structure at the end of the basal ganglia. This table lists examples and the location for different types of neurotransmitters.">

<caption>These illustrations show the (a) coronal and (b) sagittal sections of the human brain.</caption></figure><para id="fs-idm171702736">In other surgeries to treat severe epilepsy, the corpus callosum is cut instead of removing an entire hemisphere. This causes a condition called split-brain, which gives insights into unique functions of the two hemispheres. For example, when an object is presented to patients’ left visual field, they may be unable to verbally name the object (and may claim to not have seen an object at all). This is because the visual input from the left visual field crosses and enters the right hemisphere and cannot then signal to the speech center, which generally is found in the left side of the brain. Remarkably, if a split-brain patient is asked to pick up a specific object out of a group of objects with the left hand, the patient will be able to do so but will still be unable to vocally identify it.</para>

<para id="fs-idm215221760">The brain is the part of the central nervous system that is contained in the cranial cavity of the skull. It includes the cerebral cortex, limbic system, basal ganglia, thalamus, hypothalamus, and cerebellum. There are three different ways that a brain can be sectioned in order to view internal structures: a sagittal section cuts the brain left to right, as shown in <link target-id="fig-ch35_03_03"/>b, a coronal section cuts the brain front to back, as shown in <link target-id="fig-ch35_03_02"/>a, and a horizontal section cuts the brain top to bottom.</para><section id="fs-idm110867680"><title>Cerebral Cortex</title>
