Study Notes
- The cerebrum is the largest part of the human brain
- It consists of two cerebral hemispheres
- Each hemisphere has an inner core of white matter and an outer cortex of grey matter
- The cortex has an outer neocortex and an inner allocortex
- Each hemisphere is divided into four lobes: frontal, temporal, parietal, and occipital
- The frontal lobe is associated with executive functions
- The occipital lobe is dedicated to vision
- Cortical areas within each lobe are associated with specific functions
- The left and right hemispheres have some functional differences
- The hemispheres are connected by commissural nerve tracts, including the corpus callosum.
