- The cerebral cortex is composed of neocortex and 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
- Some functions are associated with one hemisphere, such as language in the left and visual-spatial ability in the right
- The hemispheres are connected by commissural nerve tracts
- The largest commissural nerve tract is the corpus callosum.
