Gyrus (plural gyri) is a ridge on the cerebral cortex.
Sulcus (plural sulci) is a groove that separates gyri.
The cerebral hemispheres are separated by a median cleft: the inherhemispheric fissure (great longitudinal fissure). The falx cerebri (cerebral falx) is a fold of dura mater which lies within inherhemispheric fissure
