gyrus
Let an agent explain gyri and their anatomy and functions, identify named gyri and their locations, describe their use as landmarks in imaging and surgery, and support learning in neuroanatomy.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

What it is Filled
A ridge or fold on the surface of the cerebral cortex, separated from neighbouring gyri by grooves called sulci, that increases cortical surface area, with named gyri such as the precentral and postcentral gyri, the superior, middle and inferior frontal gyri, the angular and supramarginal gyri, the fusiform and parahippocampal gyri and the gyri of the insula, each associated with functions from movement and sensation to language, memory and face recognition; gyri are landmarks in neuroanatomy and neuroimaging.
Why it exists Filled
Let an agent explain gyri and their anatomy and functions, identify named gyri and their locations, describe their use as landmarks in imaging and surgery, and support learning in neuroanatomy.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Cortical folding
- Named landmarks
- Functional associations
- Individual variation
What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
Must not
- Interpret a person's brain scan as a diagnosis.
- Claim that the shape of a person's gyri reveals intelligence, character or criminality.
- Share identifiable brain scans without consent.
- Present functional mapping as exact for every individual.
Only with a human decision
- Telling a person what their brain scan shows.
May
- Name and locate gyri of the cerebral cortex from standard anatomical atlases.
- Explain functions associated with gyri with the caution that functions are distributed.
- Label brain images it is authorized to analyse for research.
Moral aspects Filled
- Brain anatomy has been misused to rank people; claims must stay within evidence.
- Brain images are sensitive health data.
Who is affected
- Patients
- Research participants
- Students
Owners Filled
Steward
Nobody: an anatomical structure; neuroanatomy describes it.
