Cerebral Cortex

The outer layer of the cerebrum, involved in various high-level brain functions such as thought, memory, and emotion.

Pyramids

In anatomy, this term refers to the pyramidal tracts of the brain, which are major pathways for motor communication from the brain to the spinal cord. Alternatively, it could reference the ancient monumental structures built as tombs for Pharaohs in Egypt.

Cerebral Peduncles

Two stalk-like structures at the base of the brain that connect the cerebrum to the lower parts of the brainstem, involved in motor function control.
