Phineas Gage: A Gruesome but
True Story About Brain Science
by John Fleishman
The anatomy of our group was the cerebrum. The cerebrum is a part of the brain that controls emotions, hearing, vision, and personality. Damage to the cerebrum can lead to Motor Neuron Disease which causes the cells that control the muscles that includes speaking, walking and movements of the body to not work correctly. It functions the center of sensory perception, memory, thoughts, and judgment. In humans the cerebrum is the superior most region of the Central Nervous System (CNS). The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain. In humans the cerebrum is the largest and best developed of the five major divisions of the brain. The lobes that are part of the cerebrum are the frontal lobe, temporal lobe, occipital lobe, and the parietal lobe. Damage to the cerebrum leads in results of muscular power loss which allows you to walk, speak, and other general movements of the body. The olfaction bulb takes up a large area of the cerebrum and is responsible for the sense of smell. The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain since it conrols many parts of your body that you need in life.
