What is the Cerebrum responsible for?

  1. Connecting brain parts

  2. Regulating motor function

  3. Higher mental functions

  4. Filtering waste products

The correct answer is: Higher mental functions

The cerebrum is responsible for controlling and processing higher mental functions such as problem-solving, speech, and memory. Option A is incorrect because the cerebrum is not involved in connecting brain parts, that is the function of the corpus callosum. Option B is incorrect because the cerebrum is not responsible for regulating motor function, that is the function of the cerebellum and the medulla. Option D is incorrect because the cerebrum is not responsible for filtering waste products, that is the function of the kidneys and liver.
