The cerebrum is the largest component of your brain and is found in the front. It is named after a Latin word meaning "brain." This component is divided lengthwise and is layered into: the molecular layer, external granular layer, external pyramidal layer, internal granular layer, internal pyramidal layer and the multiform layer. In this picture, the granular layer with pyramidal cells is shown. Pyramidal cells are a type of neuron found in the cerebrum.

The cerebrum stands as the brain's largest section which enables reasoning together with motor control functions and emotional responses and verbal communication functions. Each of the two brain hemispheres contains four specific lobes defined as the frontal lobe and the parietal lobe and the temporal lobe and the occipital lobe. Decision-making with voluntary muscle control exists in the frontal lobe together with the processing of sensory touch and pain in the parietal lobe and auditory processing with memory function in the temporal lobe but visual proce Through its essential functions the cerebrum enables us to think consciously while controlling voluntary movements while processing information from our senses which allows interaction with the environment.

This is a stained section of the cerebrum, the largest part of the brain responsible for thinking, memory, and voluntary movement. The pia mater is a thin protective layer that closely covers the brain’s surface. The gyri are the raised folds you see, these increase the brain’s surface area for more neurons. The granular layer contains many small nerve cells, including the pyramidal cells, which are shaped like pyramids and help send signals across the brain and spinal cord.
