Detailed explanation-1: -The largest lobe of the brain, located in the front of the head, the frontal lobe is involved in personality characteristics, decision-making and movement. Recognition of smell usually involves parts of the frontal lobe. The frontal lobe contains Broca’s area, which is associated with speech ability.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cerebrum: is the largest part of the brain and is composed of right and left hemispheres. It performs higher functions like interpreting touch, vision and hearing, as well as speech, reasoning, emotions, learning, and fine control of movement. Cerebellum: is located under the cerebrum.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain. It is responsible for memory, speech, the senses, and emotional response. It is divided into four sections called lobes: the frontal, temporal, parietal, and occipital. Each handles a specific segment of the cerebrum’s jobs.

Detailed explanation-4: -The forebrain is the largest and most highly developed part of the human brain: it consists primarily of the cerebrum and the structures hidden beneath it (see “The Inner Brain").

Detailed explanation-5: -The significant difference between cerebellum and cerebrum is their size. The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain, and it contributes nearly 80% of the total weight of the human brain. The cerebellum makes up the remaining part of the brain. The cerebrum controls voluntary movement, intelligence and memory.
