what are GYRI AND SULCI?

Dear Student,

A gyrus is a ridge on the cerebral cortex. It is generally surrounded by one or more sulci. A sulcus (Latin: "furrow") is a depression or fissure in the surface of the brain. It surrounds the gyri, creating the characteristic appearance of the brain in humans and other large mammals.

Hope this helps,

Cheers!!
