Parts of the cerebrum

The cerebrum is involved in motor and sensory functions, and is the centre of "higher functions". It is particularly large in man. It has five lobes, separated by deep fissures between the lobes called sulci. Four of the lobes can be seen easily, but the insula lobe is hidden.

You can click on this model to find each lobe, and to learn a little about their primary functions.

Find the frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital and insula lobes.
