Scope note: Derivado del TELENCÉFALO, el cerebro está constituido por los hemisferios derecho e izquierdo. Ambos hemisferios constan de una capa externa, la corteza cerebral, y ganglios basales subcorticales. El cerebro hemisférico comprende todas las partes del sistema nervioso contenidas en el cráneo, excepto el BULBO RAQUÍDEO, el PUENTE y el CEREBELO. Son funciones cerebrales superiores las actividades sensitivomotoras, emocionales e intelectuales.

Scope note: Derived from TELENCEPHALON, cerebrum is composed of a right and a left hemisphere. Each contains an outer cerebral cortex and a subcortical basal ganglia. The cerebrum includes all parts within the skull except the MEDULLA OBLONGATA, the PONS, and the CEREBELLUM. Cerebral functions include sensorimotor, emotional, and intellectual activities.
