The microneurosurgical anatomy of the cerebral cortex

  • Chapter
Brain Mapping

Abstract

In the relatively new field of microneurosurgery, the development and use of the transcisternal, transfissural, and transsulcal approaches [54, 57, 58] have established the sulci as fundamental landmarks on the brain surface. The well-known variability in cortical function [1, 2, 13, 29, 32, 50] calls for the aid of cortical mapping techniques to precisely identify specific sites related to cortical function. Nevertheless, detailed knowledge of the structure and form of the cerebral sulci and gyri continues to be mandatory for neuroimaging as well as intraoperative guidance. Once identified, the cerebral sulci can be used by the neurosurgeon either as microneurosurgical corridors or simply as cortical landmarks [41, 42]. On the other hand, historically, it is notable that despite the intense interest that humankind has always had in relation to the brain, it was only in the middle of the 19th century that the anatomical organization of the cerebral sulci and gyri was perceived and described [17], as detailed bellow.
