All mammalian brains have a peripheral nervous system (pns) and a central nervous system (cns). = consists of the brain and the spinal cord (parts that are in bones) the sagittal fissure. Cerebrum = most-rostral and largest part of the brain, split up in two hemispheres, separated by. Cerebellum = contains as many neurons as the cerebrum, primarily for movement control and.
