The cerebrum consists of thetwo large hemispheres, right and left, which are connectedby white fibrous tissues called the corpus callosum. Thehemispheres are divided into lobes, the frontal lobes in thefront part of the skull cavity, the temporal lobes abovethe ears, the parietal lobes about the crown of the head.
