Definition that contains cerebral hemisphere
- striatum a striped mass of white and grey matter located in front of the thalamus in each cerebral hemisphere; consists of the caudate nucleus and the lenticular nucleus
- interbrain the posterior division of the forebrain; connects the cerebral hemispheres with the mesencephalon
- superior cerebral vein a cerebral vein that drains the dorsal convexity of the cerebral hemisphere and empties into the cavernous sinus
- split-brain technique brain surgery on animals in which the corpus callosum (and sometimes the optic chiasm) is severed so that communication between the cerebral hemispheres is interrupted
- lateral ventricle either of two horseshoe-shaped ventricles one in each cerebral hemisphere; they communicate with the third ventricle via the foramen of Monro
- callosotomy severing the corpus callosum so that communication between the cerebral hemispheres is interrupted (in cases of severe intractable epilepsy)
- betweenbrain the posterior division of the forebrain; connects the cerebral hemispheres with the mesencephalon
- venae cerebrum inferior veins that drain the undersurface of the cerebral hemispheres and empty into the cavernous and transverse sinuses
- olfactory brain a center in the cerebral hemispheres that governs the sense of smell in lower animals; in humans it seems to mediate complex emotional behavior
- gyrus cinguli a long curved structure on the medial surface of the cerebral hemispheres; the cortical part of the limbic system
