Each of these ten stimulates a neighboring ten, and so on by geometrical proportion, until the influence of the original stimulus fades away. Such stimuli are normally brought to these cells in the grey cortex (bark) by the nerve fibres. These form the white core of the brain. (Naturally there are blood vessels...

Each hemisphere is composed of five lobes, termed frontal, parietal, occipital, temporosphenoidal and central. Each is separated to a certain extent from its neighbor by fissures, or depressions, and each is also made up of elevations called convolutions and of lesser depressions...
