Which of the following is NOT one of the three basic regions of a cerebral hemisphere?
A
the internal white matter
B
the diencephalon
C
the superficial cortex of gray matter
D
the basal nuclei
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the structure of the cerebral hemisphere: The cerebral hemisphere is divided into three main regions.
Identify the three basic regions: These include the superficial cortex of gray matter, the internal white matter, and the basal nuclei.
Clarify the role of each region: The superficial cortex is involved in higher brain functions, the internal white matter contains myelinated fibers for communication, and the basal nuclei are involved in movement regulation.
Recognize the diencephalon: The diencephalon is a separate structure located beneath the cerebral hemispheres, involved in sensory and autonomic functions.
Determine the answer: Since the diencephalon is not part of the cerebral hemisphere's three basic regions, it is the correct answer to the question.
