The cerebral hemispheres are the two halves of the brain, known as the left and right hemispheres. Each hemisphere is responsible for different functions, with the left typically associated with language, logic, and analytical tasks, while the right is linked to creativity, intuition, and spatial abilities. These hemispheres are connected by a bundle of nerve fibers called the corpus callosum, which allows communication between them. The outer layer, known as the cerebral cortex, is involved in higher brain functions such as perception, thought, and decision-making. Together, the cerebral hemispheres play a crucial role in overall brain function.
