The Cerebrum

The cerebrum is divided into grey and white mass. The grey mass is known to be cerebral cortex, and that's where our neural information are processed and analyzed. The cerebral cortex is highly convulated, which gives the brain a greater surface area.

The cerebrum is divided into two sides, called cerebral hemisphere. They are connected by a bundle of white matter called corpus callosum, which is responsible to send information from one hemisphere to another.

It is known that each side of the brain is responsible for a certain activities. The right hemisphere is related to artistic skills -- drawing, painting , intuitive thinking and etc -- while the left side is related with the logical thinking -- math, solving problems, writing, and etc --.

Divisions of the Cerebrum

The cerebrum is divided into four lobes:

• Occipital lobe: Receive and processes visual information.
• Parietal lobe: receive sensory information from skin, and process information about the body position.
• Temporal lobe: involved in auditory reception
• Frontal lobe: associated with conscious thought, intelligence, memory and personality.

Broca's Area and Wernicke's Area

Both of these areas are found in the left side of the brain. Broca's Area is responsible for coordinating the muscles relating to speaking, and also translate thought into speech, while wernicke's area is responsible for the comprehesion of speech.
