The cerebrum is divided into '''two cerebral hemispheres''' connected by a mass of white matter  known as the '''corpus callosum''' . Each hemisphere is split into four lobes, these are the '''frontal''', '''parietal''', '''occipital'''  and '''temporal''' lobes. The surface of each hemisphere is made up of grey matter known as the '''cerebral cortex''' and is folded to increase the surface area available within the skull. The cortex has roles with '''perception''', '''memory''', and all higher thought processes, including concentration.

Inside the cortex is the white matter, within this a number of [[Nuculi - Anatomy & Physiology|nuclei]] (grey matter), known as the basal nuclei. The basal nuclei receive information from the cortex to regulate skeletal movement and other higher motor functions.

The [[Forebrain - Anatomy & Physiology#thalamus|thalamus]] functions to relay sensory information to the [[Forebrain - Anatomy & Physiology#Cerebral Cortex|cerebral cortex]] and the [[Forebrain - Anatomy & Physiology#Hypothalamus|hypothalamus]] regulates visceral functions, such as temperature, reproductive functions, eating, sleeping and the display of emotion. The limbic system describes a collection of structures within the forebrain, including the '''amygdala  hippocampus''' . Also known as the 'emotional brain', the limbic system is important in the formation of memories and in making decisions and learning.
