What does cerebrum do?

In: Health, Sociology [Edit categories]

Answer:

The cerebrum, or the cerebral cortex is the forebrain. Evolutionary speaking, it is the newest part of the brain, and the place where most "higher functions" are carried out.

A cerebrum helps you think and controls your brain, although there are many other control and coordination structures in midbrain, brainstem, and cerebellum.
