Sulci - The valleys on the surface of the brain Gyri - The Hills
The term gyrus is sometimes used broadly and doesnt always refer to a single well-defined ridge on the surface of the brain. The distinctions between large gyri are sometimes better seen in coronal sections.

Developmental Origins
Three Vessicle Stage
Areas of the Brain can be characterized by the embryonic origins of the tissue. Nervous system begins as a tube that differentiates into three vessicles:
Developmental Origins
Prosencephalon differentiates:
Rhombencehphalon differentiates
Metencephalon Meyelencephalon
We use this terminology to describe the parts of the brain that develop from these vessicles

CSF Flow
CSF Absorption
CSF flows to the dorsal surface of the brain, where arachnoid granulations form a one-way valve and let the excess CSF enter the veinous drainage of the superior sagittal sinus
