Q

What is the difference between the cerebrum and cerebral cortex

A

Cerebrum is the largest and the most prominent part of the brain, whereas the cerebral cortex is the outer layer of the cerebrum. … The cerebrum has both gray and white matter, whereas the gray matter is considered to be the cerebral cortex.

Q

cerebellum

A

receives info from sensory systems etc, and regulates movements, posture balance
