What is Longitudinal fissure?
[[File:Longitudinal fissure of cerebrum.gif|thumb|The longitudinal fissure is shown in red]] In [[vertebrate]]s, the '''longitudinal fissure''' separates the [[cerebrum]] into two parts. The fissure is sometimes also called 'longitudinal cerebral fissure', 'great longitudinal fissure' or 'interhemispheric longitudinal fissure'. The two parts are often called [[Cerebral hemisphere|cerebral hemispheres]]. The [[cerebrum]] is the largest part of the human [[brain]]. A bundle of [[nerve fibre]]s called the [[corpus calllosum]] connects the left and right hemispheres. A tough [[membrane]] called [[falx cerebri]] covers the fissure. {{biology-stub}} [[Category:Anatomy of the brain]]
