cerebrum
- n anterior portion of the brain consisting of two hemispheres; dominant part of the brain in humans
- The cerebrum (the tumor operation had nothing to do with the cerebellum) is divided from front to back into two hemispheres, a left and a right, which function almost alike.
- However, the cortex, which is the thinking part of the cerebrum, andor the thalamus, which connects the brain stem to the cortex, are so badly damaged that they no longer function.
- The concern: that some of that arterial plaque might break off and form a clot in the Senator's brain, interrupting the flow of blood to his cerebrum.
