The Cerebrum. The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain, located superiorly and anteriorly in relation to the brainstem. It consists of two cerebral hemispheres (left and right), separated by the falx cerebri of the dura mater. Embryologically, the cerebrum is derived from the telencephalon. In this article, we will look at the anatomy of the cerebrum â its structure, function, blood supply and the clinical implications of cerebral lesions. Note: Some texts consider the basal ganglia to be part of the cerebrum. This is beyond the scope of this article.
