Understand the basic anatomy of the brain: The brain's surface is made up of folds and grooves, which increase its surface area and allow for more neurons.
Define 'gyrus': A gyrus (plural: gyri) is an elevated ridge on the surface of the brain. These ridges are the 'bumps' you see on the brain's surface.
Define 'sulcus': A sulcus (plural: sulci) is a groove or furrow on the brain's surface. These grooves are the 'valleys' between the gyri.
Compare the terms: A gyrus is an elevated ridge, while a sulcus is a groove. This distinction is important for understanding the brain's structure.
Apply this knowledge to the problem: Match the terms correctly based on their definitions. A gyrus corresponds to an elevated ridge, and a sulcus corresponds to a groove.
