What is the difference between cerebral cortex and cerebrum?
The Cerebrum is the largest part of the brain consisting of the four lobes of the brain. These are the parietal lobe, occipital lobe, frontal lobe, and the temporal lobe. Each lobe carries many different responsibilities. A few of these are as follows: Frontal lobe- reasoning, planning, emotions, speech, and movements. Temporal Lobe- memory, speach, auditory stimuli, and perception and recognition. The parietal lobe-orientation, recognition, stimuli. The Occipital Lobe-visual processing. The Cerebral Cortex is the material filling the grooves seen in brain images. It is responsible for many different senses such as memory, attention, awareness, thought, language, and consciousness. Alot of the movements associated with the cerebral cortex are voluntary, but not all are.
