Drawing of a dorsal view of a canine brain. The
cerebrum is pink and the
cerebellum is yellow. The surface of the cerebrum features gyri delineated by sulci (the pattern of sulci and gyri is different for each species). Two sulci are significant landmarks in the dog. The
cruciate sulcus (orange) is surrounded by motor cortex. The
coronal sulcus (green) bounds somatosensory (tactile sensory) cortex. To return to the lateral view, click
