The cerebrum is the thinking, seeing, hearing, emotional and voluntary
movement part of our brain. The cerebrum is divided into right and
left cerebral hemispheres. The major microscopic divisions are:
- The cortex, the outer layer composed primarily of
unmyelinated nerve fibers and nerve cell bodies (gray matter).
- The white matter, composed of tracts of myelinated
nerve fibers.
