centrum semiovale

centrum ovale

Beneath the grey matter of the cerebral surface lies the semioval centre, the white matter of the cerebral hemispheres. Taken as a whole, the white matter lying in each hemisphere between the cerebral cortex and the deep nuclei has a semioval shape, which is the origin of the name; the term is used synonymously with cerebral white matter. Its composition is described in three fibre classes: cortical projection fibres, association fibres, and cortical fibres. Because the region is defined by the fibre systems crossing it rather than by a cell population, it is treated in descriptive anatomy as a compartment of the cerebral hemisphere white matter, and its Latin designation is centrum ovale.

The semioval center is the white matter found underneath the grey matter on the surface of the cerebrum. The term is synonymous with cerebral white matter. The white matter, located in each hemisphere between the cerebral cortex and nuclei, as a whole has a semioval shape.
