Document Summary
Forebrain: cerebrum: largest part of the human brain. Center of sensory perception, memory, thought, judgement, and voluntary motor actions. The cerebrum has two cerebral hemispheres separated by the longitudinal fissure but connected by the corpus callosum: telencephalon: cerebrum. Gyri of each hemisphere separated by grooves called sulci. Folding of gyri allows for greater amount of cortex to fit in cranial cavity. Gyri not sulci, increase surface area = increase in processing capacity: functions of cerebrum: Motivation, foresight, planning, memory, mood, emotion, social judgement, and aggression sensory information, taste, and some visual processing. Areas of hearing, smell, learning, memory, and some aspects of vision and emotion. Small mass of cortex: has roles in language, sense of taste and integrates visceral sensory information: cerebral white matter. Most of the volume of the cerebrum. Glial and myelinated nerve fibers transmitting signals from one region of the cerebrum to another and between cerebrum and lower brain centers.
