The Cerebrum contains conscious thought, memory and learning capacities.

The neurosciences have traditionally divided the brain's cerebrum into four lobes: the frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal. The cerebrum is the newest part of the brain to have evolved, and houses most “higher” functions, such as conscious thought, morality, memory, and the ability to learn through memorization, deduction, and other complex processes. The frontal lobe is the home of much of what makes us human. It plays a role in everything from movement to intelligence.  It helps us to anticipate the consequences of our actions and aids in the planning and doing of future actions like change. This part of the brain is the newest from an evolutionary perspective, and is the last to develop after birth, making the frontal lobe both highly malleable and susceptible to early childhood developmental damage.

What is so important about the cerebrum? 

​​​
​The front area of the brain is called the cerebrum, the brain’s largest part.  It plays a key role in controlling body temperature, movement, vision, hearing, touch, learning, judgment, problem solving and emotions.  Thoughts and emotions about change are processed throughout the neural complexities of the cerebrum.
