Place your hands on top of your head. The part of your brain
below your hands is the cerebrum. The cerebrum is the brain's largest part. It
makes up 85 percent of your brain's total weight! Scientists often divide the
cerebrum into different parts, called lobes. The lobes are the frontal,
parietal, occipital, and temporal lobes. The cerebrum has many functions. It
controls your sense of touch, smell, hearing, taste, and sight. It also
controls your feelings. When you are happy or angry, this is your cerebrum at
work. The cerebrum oversees movement and voluntary actions, or actions you
control. The cerebrum is also in charge of thinking and learning.
