Fictional Biography
Ceritak, son of Cerimul, was born in the Bottle City of Kandor, an extradimensional place populated by a variety of creatures from all over the universe. Most of the inhabitants descended from beings imprisoned in Kandor at some time either by the living computer Brainiac or the magician Tolos who stole the bottle city from Brainiac. The species that Ceritak belongs to is distinguishing itself by its dark-blue skin, stout physique and a set of two horns sprouting from their foreheads.
Although his father Cerimul served as one of the elite councillors issued by Tolos with the assignment of governing Kandor, Ceritak developed into a rebellious young man as he grew up. Obsessed with escaping from the imprisonment in Kandor, Ceritak seized the opportunity of a transitory disruption in the energy wall separating Kandor's dimension from the dimension outside the city.
Scorn (Transformers)
Scorn is a fictional character from the Transformers franchise. He first appears in the fourth of Michael Bay's Transformers films, Age of Extinction. He is portrayed as the demolition specialist of the Dinobots, a small subfaction of Autobots that transform into dinosaurs.
Live-action film series
Scorn is the demolition specialist among the Dinobots in Transformers: Age of Extinction; he transforms into a mechanical three-sailed Spinosaurus.
Age of Extinction film
Scorn was among the legendary knights Lockdown kept prisoner aboard his ship, and was inadvertently rescued when the Autobots liberated Optimus Prime and stole a detachable section of Lockdown's ship. Optimus later freed him and the other Dinobots to request their help in defeating Galvatron's forces, and when he finished beating Grimlock into submission, Scorn and the others joined the Autobots charge into Hong Kong, carrying Crosshairs on his back. He later helped to escort the "Seed" to a safe location, however Lockdown returned and attempted to recapture the Dinobots and Optimus using a magnetic tractor-beam, but the Autobot leader managed to destroy it before they were caught. Once Lockdown was defeated, Optimus set the Dinobots free, and Scorn and the others headed off. Like the rest of the Dinobots, he isn't referred to by name as he cannot speak, but Crosshairs later names him "Spike".
Gyrus
In neuroanatomy, a gyrus (pl. gyri) is a ridge on the cerebral cortex. It is generally surrounded by one or more sulci (depressions or furrows; sg. sulcus). Gyri and sulci create the folded appearance of the brain in humans and other mammals.
Structure
The gyri are part of a system of folds and ridges that create a larger surface area for the human brain and other mammalian brains. Because the brain is confined to the skull, brain size is limited. Ridges and depressions create folds allowing a larger cortical surface area, and greater cognitive function, to exist in the confines of a smaller cranium.
Development
The human brain undergoes gyrification during fetal and neonatal development. In embryonic development, all mammalian brains begin as smooth structures derived from the neural tube. A cerebral cortex without surface convolutions is lissencephalic, meaning 'smooth-brained'. As development continues, gyri and sulci begin to take shape on the fetal brain, with deepening indentations and ridges developing on the surface of the cortex.
