One of the most distinctive features of the human brain is that its surface is covered with a complex pattern of grooves and ridges. The grooves are called sulci, and the ridges are called gyri. In this video, we explore some of the most prominent sulci and gyri in the brain, many of which serve as important landmarks of the cerebral cortex.
