can you tell me how does cerebrum affect us?

Question

how does cerebrum affect us

Answer 1

The telencephalon is the name for a large region within the brain that is attributed many functions. Many people refer to it as the cerebrum.

Language and communication:
Speech and language are mainly attributed to parts of the cerebral cortex, which is one portion of the telencephalon. Motor portions of language are attributed to Broca's area within the frontal lobe. Speech comprehension is attributed to Wernicke's area, at the temporal-parietal lobe junction. These two regions are interconnected by a large white matter tract, the arcuate fasciculus. Damage to the Broca's area results in expressive aphasia (non-fluent aphasia) while damage to Wernicke's area results in receptive aphasia (also called fluent aphasia)

Movement:
The telencephalon attributes motor function to the body. These functions originate within the primary motor cortex and other frontal lobe motor area. In many cases when this part of the brain is damaged, the brain is unable to send signals to nerves that innervate muscles motoneurons, and can lead to diseases such as Motor Neurone Disease. This kind of damage results in loss of muscular power and precision rather than total paralysis, because there are other, older portions of the brain that also subserve motor function.

Olfaction:
The olfactory bulb is on the underside of the anterior-most portion of the brain. This is a rather large portion of the telencephalon in most mammals. However, in humans, this part of the brain is relatively smaller. Damage to the olfactory bulb results in a loss of the sense of smell.

Memory:
Memory formation is associated with the hippocampus. This association was originally described after a patient (HM) had both his hippocampuses (left and right) surgically removed to treat severe epilepsy.

Emotion:
Emotional functions are attributed to a wide network of telencephalic and other regions grouped together as the limbic system. The amygdala is a nucleus that contributes a great deal to the emotion of fear. This region is part of the Papez circuit, which is the anatomical loop between various brain regions responsible for cortical control of information.

Answer 2

The cerebrum is the newest part of the encephalus, in evolutive terms. It is responsible for most of the superior fuctions: vision, speech, rational thinking, voluntary movement and so on. The cerebrum is mainly what we call the cortex with its circunvolutions that extend its functional surface.
Not all animals have these circumvolutions, the human brain being the most developed. Monkeys, dolphins or cats have circumvolutions what is a sign of developed brains. Mice and rats have flat brains without circumvolutions.

Now, some experiments have been done with cats. They removed all the cat's brain cortex, that is the cerebrum, living just the basal ganglia, mesencephalus, and cerebellum (al of this is not cerebrum). The cat was still able to cry, run, hunt and feed, and have sexual intercourse. That leaves the brain in a very bad position.

Answer 3

Well the cerebrum is the largest part of the brain. Obviously it's not producing many effects for you!

Answer 4

Love him, love his kid. Plain and simple. I am not sure if you're hoping he will stop seeing his child, but more than likely he won't. If you don't want kids you should have picked more carefully then, because you knew going in he had a baby. If you are jealous of his child then that is your hang up that doesn't concern him. You seriously need to do he and his baby and find someone single that you can play overly attached girlfriend with and stop trying to get between him and his child. That child is blood and you are a girlfriend. Chances are he will tell you to hit the door if you imply what I think you're trying to. Not cool at all.
