what is the name of the largest part of the human brain?
corpus callosum
the cerebrum is the largest part of the human brain. it is divided into two cerebral hemispheres. the cerebral cortex is an outer layer of grey matter, covering the core of white matter. the cortex is split into the neocortex and the much smaller allocortex. the neocortex is made up of six neuronal layers, while the allocortex has three or four. each hemisphere is conventionally divided into four lobes – the frontal, temporal, parietal, and occipital lobes. the frontal lobe is associated with executive functions including self-control, planning, reasoning, and abstract thought, while the occipital lobe is dedicated to vision. within each lobe, cortical areas are associated with specific functions, such as the sensory, motor and association regions. although the left and right hemispheres are broadly similar in shape and function, some functions are associated with one side, such as language in the left and visual-spatial ability in the right. the hemispheres are connected by commissural nerve tracts, the largest being the corpus callosum.

while the emphasis below is on physical brain structure, functional aspects are also included. mind concepts (as in mind vs. body), and cognitive and behavioral aspects, are introduced where they have at least a fairly direct connection to physical aspects of the brain, neurons, spinal cord, nerve networks, neurotransmitters, etc.
