Document Summary
Coronal plane view: white matter areas are where the axons are, and grey matter on the outside. Horizontal plane view: can get the c-like structure in the front and back of the brain. Cerebellum is the cauliflower-like struc that sits right behind the pons/brain stem, to smooth out muscle movement. White matter contains the axons that connect one neuron to another neuron; or in the case of muscle, one neuron to muscle movement), strucs that form part of the limbic system (important for memory, emotion) Other deep gray matter bodies include the basal ganglia (important in controlling motor. Always assume 2 hemispheres, even though we"re only showing one side. Birds and reptiles don"t have this part well-developed but their brain stem, lower brain is more. In humans, there is a more convoluted cerebral cortex. Convolutions / folds on top are called gyri, and grooves are sulci.
