The cerebrum (Latin for brain), refers to the part of the brain comprising the cerebral cortex (in the two cerebral hemispheres), as well as several subcortical structures, including the hippocampus, basal ganglia, and olfactory bulb. In humans, the cerebrum is the superior-most region of the central nervous system (CNS). However, in nearly all other vertebrates, the cerebrum is the anterior-most region of the CNS as most animals rarely assume an upright anatomical position. The telencephalon refers to the embryonic structure from which the mature cerebrum develops. In mammals, the dorsal telencephalon, or pallium, develops into the cerebral cortex, and the ventral telencephalon, or subpallium, becomes the basal ganglia. The cerebrum is also divided into approximately symmetric left and right cerebral hemispheres.
