On this page you can get a detailed analysis of a word or phrase, produced by the best artificial intelligence technology to date:
The falx cerebri (also known as the cerebral falx) is a large, crescent-shaped fold of dura mater that descends vertically into the longitudinal fissure between the cerebral hemispheres of the human brain, separating the two hemispheres and supporting dural sinuses that provide venous and CSF drainage to the brain. It is attached to the crista galli anteriorly, and blends with the tentorium cerebelli posteriorly.
The falx cerebri is often subject to age-related calcification, and a site of falcine meningiomas.
The falx cerebri is named for its sickle-like shape.
