| The difference between cerebrum and cerebellum and medula |
|
Definition
The cerebrum is what most people think of when they hear brain. It is the largest part located at the top, split into two halves and connected by large nerves. It controls thought, logic, reasoning, memory, behavior, and all the senses.
The cerebellum is a smaller part located on the back and bottom of the cerebrum. It controls all the motor skills.
The medulla oblongata is a very small portion located at the base of the skull/top of the spinal cord which controls involuntary functions such as breathing, heart rate, powering up and down of the cerebrum, etc. |
