Cerebrum is the largest portion of the brain. It is divided into two halves called the right and left cerebral hemispheres. Each hemisphere is internally hollow. The outer surface of the hemispheres is folded with ridges and grooves which increase the surface of the brain so as to accommodate a large number of neurons.

The cerebrum has following functions:

  1. Intelligence
  2. Consciousness
  3. Will power
