The cerebrum is the largest and most complex of all the parts of the human brain. It consists of left and right hemispheres connected by a large bundle of myelinated fibres, the corpus callosum. Association areas interpret the input, store the input and initiate a response in light of similar past experience. Thus, the association areas are involved in memory, learning and reasoning.
