Subarachnoid space: space between the arachnoid and pia mater, filled with
cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
falx cerebri: inner layer of dura mater which folds between the left and right hemisphere
tentorium cerebelli: inner layer of dura mater which folds between cerebrum and
cerebellum
epidural space: space between dura and cranial bones
subdural space: space between dura and arachnoid
sinus: endothelium lined spaces between the inner and outer layer of the dura → largest =
superior sagittal sinus
Circle of willis
,Telencephalon: frontal and temporal lobes
Diencephalon: hypothalamus, optic chiasm, optic nerves, optic tract, hypophysis (pituitary
gland), mammillary bodies

Metencephalon: pons, middle cerebellar peduncle (MCP), trigeminal nerve (V), abducens
nerves (VI), facial (VII), vestibulocochlear (VIII)

of the hypothalamus
Corpus callosum: main commissure between both hemispheres containing about 300
million fibers
septum pellucidum: separation of both lateral ventricles (between fornix and anterior part
of corpus callosum)
cingulate gyrus: surrounding of the corpus callosum
neocortex/isocortex: 6 layers
allocortex: 5 or less different layers
lateral ventricle: hole in the brain where the hippocampus and corpus callosum lay around
Basal ganglia: Caudate nucleus, globus pallidus and the putamen
