Begin by identifying the anatomical structures mentioned in the problem: septum pellucidum, central sulcus, longitudinal fissure, and transverse cerebral fissure.
Understand the function and location of each structure: The septum pellucidum is a thin membrane separating the lateral ventricles, not the cerebral hemispheres.
The central sulcus is a groove that separates the frontal and parietal lobes within a single hemisphere, not between hemispheres.
The transverse cerebral fissure separates the cerebrum from the cerebellum, not the cerebral hemispheres.
The longitudinal fissure is the deep groove that runs along the midline of the brain, separating the left and right cerebral hemispheres.
