Brain
¤ Also called “telencephalon”
¤ 如蘑菇状的帽盖披覆于间脑上
¤ Lies in the cranial cavity and is continuous with the spinal cord through the foramen magnum
¤ Unlike spinal cord, the brain is composed of an inner core of white matter, which is surrounded by
an outer covering of gray matter
Yet, certain important masses of gray matter are situated deeply within the white matter
o I.e. Within the cerebellum: there are gray cerebellar nuclei
Within the cerebrum: there are gray thalamic, caudate, and lentiform nuclei
¤ 分成左右 cerebral hemisphere
o 靠 corpus callosum(胼胝体)所连结
¤ Surrounded by three meninges:
The dura mater The arachnoid mater The pia mater
These are continuous with the corresponding meninges of the spinal cord
¤ The cerebrospinal fluid surrounds the brain in the subarachnoid space
o The brainstem (a collective term for the medulla oblongata, pons, and midbrain) is that part
of the brain that remains after cerebral hemispheres and cerebellum are removed
Human brain components:
Forebrain: cerebrum (cortex, basal ganglia, amygdala, hippocampus), diencephalon (thalamus,
hypothalamus, epithalamus)
Midbrain
The narrow part of the brain that connects the forebrain to the hindbrain
The narrow cavity of the midbrain cerebral aqueduct
o Connects the third and fourth ventricles
Contains many nuclei and bundles of ascending and descending nerve fibers

A) Superior colliculus: 眼球动作,眼 – 头动作控制
B) Inferior colliculus: 听觉神经路径转换站

Cerebrum Diencephalon
The largest part of the brain
o During the process of development, the cerebrum becomes
enormously enlarged and overhangs the diencephalon, midbrain,
and hindbrain
Provides us with the ability to read, write, and speak; to make calculations
and compose music; and to remember the past, plan for the future, and
imagine things that have never existed before
Consists of two cerebral hemispheres
o Connected by a mass of white matter corpus callosum
o Each hemisphere extends from the frontal to the occipital bones in
the skull Almost completely hidden from
Superior to the anterior and middle cranial fossae the surface of the brain
Posteriorly, lies above the tentorium cerebelli Consists of
o The hemispheres are separated by a deep cleft longitudinal fissure, A dorsal thalamus
into which projects the falx cerebri A large, egg-shaped mass
o The surface layer of each hemisphere cortex, is composed of gray of gray matter that lies on
matter (outer cerebral cortex) either side of the third
The cerebral cortex is thrown into folds or gyri, separated by ventricle

o Within the hemisphere is a central core of white matter (internal and lateral ventricles
region), containing several large masses of gray matter basal nuclei interventricular foramen

The lens-shaped nucleus on the lateral side of the
internal capsule lentiform nucleus
o The cavity present within each cerebral hemisphere lateral ventricle

interventricular foramina

o The peduncles are
composed of large
bundles of nerve fibers

cerebellum to the
remainder of the nervous
system
The surface layer of each
cerebellar hemisphere is called
the cortex and is composed of
gray matter
o Certain masses of gray
matter are found on the

cerebellum, embedded in
the white matter, the
largest of these is known
as the dentate nucleus
The cerebellar cortex is thrown
into folds, or folia, separated by
closely set transverse fissures

- Surround a cavity filled with cerebrospinal fluid, called the fourth ventricle
o Connected superiorly to the third ventricle by the cerebral aqueduct
o Inferiorly, it is continuous with the central canal of the spinal cord
o Communicates with the subarachnoid space through three openings in the inferior part of the roof
It is through these openings that the cerebrospinal fluid within the central nervous system
can enter the subarachnoid space
