Cerebrum consists of the cerebral cortex which is composed mostly of grey matter, containing cell bodies and dendrites, and white matter mainly composed of myelinated axons. Cerebral cortex is generally characterized by a number of folds and grooves known as convolutions. Gyrus is an elevated convolution fold and depression shaped groove in between two gyri, which is called the sulcus.
