Development
During vertebrate embryonic development, the prosencephalon, the most anterior of three vesicle that form from the embryonic neural tube, is further subdivided into the telencephalon and diencephalon. The telencephalon then forms two lateral telencephalic vesicles which develop into the left and right cerebral hemispheres.

Whats the difference between What I have so far is that the
cerebrum is the front of the
brain but then if thats the
case what exactly is the
Cerbral Cortex?
The cerebral cortex has white
and grey matter but where is
it physically located? My
understanding is that it is
located in the cerebrum too?
That's where I'm confused.

The cerebrum is the upper layer of the brain. The cortex is its corrugated surface. |

In the event of injury to the I was reading about the brain

interesting.
What other part of the brain
or body are affected by an
injury or dysfunction to the
cerebrum? And can you
rehabilitated?

As you know, the cerebrum (also known as the cerebral cortex) is a very complex structure. Because it is so complex, different areas of it control behaviors, movements, language, cognitive functions, speech, and vision; it makes it impossible to generalize about what happens after an injury for that very reason. Rehabilitation potential depends on the severity and type of the injury and the site of the lesion. Patient motivation and the involvement of the patient's family/significant others are huge factors in the prognosis. |

What are two other ways you One way to think about
dividing up the cerebrum is
the four lobes: frontal,
temporal, parietal, and
occipita.

well you have the four lobes like the other person mentioned. You also have the right and left halves, right dealing with creative thought, and left with analytcal thought. you could divide it by front and back halves, one (i believe the front) is more related to motor skills, while the back is used for sensory an memory. |
