Cerebral Anatomy for Neurosurgeons
Subspecialty: Neuro-anatomy
Type: Clinical Summary
This summary presents the microneurosurgical anatomy of the cerebral cortex and the white matter that underpins large-scale brain networks, and links that anatomy to current clinical brain-mapping strategies used to protect eloquent function during surgery. It covers surface landmarks (gyri, sulci, fissures), deep grey nuclei, ventricular relations, the principal white‑matter tracts, embryological timing relevant to sulcal patterns, and the translational implications for preoperative imaging, intraoperative mapping and staged resections in conditions such as tumors and epilepsy. Overview The c…
