Editorial Note:

It is definitely correct to sub-class Cerebrum as a Regional_part_of_forebrain. It isnt clear all would agree Cerebrum and Telencephalon are equivalent. Is this what we want to declare for BIRNLex? (BB).

Externally Sourced Definition:

The term cerebrum has several definitions ranging in generality from equivalence to the term "brain" to the sum of the left cerebral hemisphere and right hemisphere, to a composite structure consisting of the cerebral cortex and adjacent cerebral white matter. A thorough discussion of the nature and history of the different definitions is presented in Anthoney-94 (NeuroNames).

For most authors, this is the cerebral hemispheres plus the basal ganglia, but most clincians do not include the basal ganglia (MSH).

Temp Definition:

The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain, and contains white matter and grey matter. The telencephalon (IPA: /t?l?n's?f?l?n/) is the name for a large region within the brain that is attributed many functions. Many people refer to it as the cerebrum; however, it is technically referred to as the telencephalon. As a more technical definition, the telencephalon refers to the cerebral hemispheres and other, smaller structures within the brain, although the telencephalon is one of the larger divisions (in terms of number). It is the anterior-most embryological division of the brain that develops from the prosencephalon. The telencephalon is composed of the following sub-regions; Limbic system; Cerebral cortex or cortices of the cerebral hemispheres, Basal ganglia, Olfactory bulb. The telencephalon comprises what most people think of as the "brain." It lies on top of the brainstem and is the largest and most well-developed of the five major divisions of the brain. The telencephalon is the newest structure in the phylogenetic sense, with mammals having the largest and most well-developed among all species. It emerges from the prosencephalon, the first of three vesicles that form from the embryonic neural tube (Christine Fennema-Notestine).
