The Cerebrum:?The cerebrum or cortex is the largest part of the human brain, associated with higher brain function such as thought and action. The cerebral cortex is divided into four sections, called "lobes": the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe, and temporal lobe. Here is a visual representation of the cortex: What do each of these lobes do? Frontal Lobe- associated with reasoning, planning, parts of speech, movement, emotions, and problem solving Parietal Lobe- associated with movement, orientation, recognition, perception of stimuli Occipital Lobe- associated with visual processing Temporal Lobe- associated with perception and recognition of auditory stimuli, memory, and speech

The Cerebrum Information processing centered in cerebrum Structure Telencephalon gives rise to cerebrum Divided into right and left cerebral hemispheres ? outer covering of gray matter Cerebral cortex, internal white matter, and groups of neurons (basal nuclei) located deep within white matter ? important for planning and learning movement sequences Damage- cerebral palsy Cerebral cortex (largest/most complex) ? sensory information analyzed Right/left hemispheres ? right side responsible for left side of body; left side responsible for right side of body Corpus callosum (thick band of axons) allows communication between right and left cerebral cortex Damage to cerebrum early in development- Normal functions radiated elsewhere
