Question

All of the following are parts of forebrain, except:

• A. Corpus callosum
• B. Cerebellum
• C. Hypothalamus
• D. Association areas

Answer 1

The correct option is B Cerebellum

Cerebellum is the part of the hind brain.

The forebrain consists of cerebrum, thalamus and hypothalamus.

A deep cleft divides the cerebrum longitudinally into two halves, which are termed as the left and right cerebral hemispheres. The hemispheres are connected by a tract of nerve fibres called corpus callosum.

The layer of cells which covers the cerebral hemisphere is called cerebral cortex and is thrown into prominent folds. The cerebral cortex contains motor areas, sensory areas and large regions that are neither clearly sensory nor motor in function. These regions called as the association areas are responsible for complex functions like intersensory associations, memory and communication.

So, the correct answer is cerebellum.
