Retzius Convolutions

The report of the retius gyrus in the abstract may be useful.

It is known that the brain, like any other human muscle, gradually atrophies. But, thanks to one scientist, a truly great discovery was made. This man was Academician Ottakar Franz Joseph Retzius, an English anatomist born in Stockholm in the 18th century. It was he who conducted numerous studies and proved the connection of the brain with various human functions. He studied the nervous system of vertebrates and was able to identify three main folds in the back of the brain:

* The first bend is occipital; * The second is the pavement; * The third (largest) is located behind the bridge and is called the large one.

The first of these curves, connecting the upper end of the medulla oblongata with the cerebellum, is called the hindbrain curve. The second bend, or medusa suture, forms a small depression at the junction of the bridge and the oblongata, which is called the arch of the whole brain. Finally, the third bend was called the sagittal, and the expanded area of ​​the cerebral cortex between it and the bend of the forebrain arch was called the gyral fold

Perhaps Rheticus's most famous discovery underlies many theories about life and brain function.
