Synonym(s): hemispherium (1) . Fig. 98 Cerebral hemispheres . Localization of functions in the human brain. cerebral hemisphere one of a pair of large lobes in the forebrain of vertebrates. In reptiles, birds and mammals the coordinating function is dominant and the cerebral hemispheres control most of the activities of the animals, whereas in lower vertebrates the hemispheres are associated mainly with the sense of smell. In mammals the enlargements of the cerebral hemispheres, the largest part of the BRAIN, are caused by the development of the NEOPALLIUM (part of the CEREBRAL CORTEX) which forms the entire roof and sides of the forebrain. The frontal lobes are particularly developed in humans and are the seat of memory, thought and a considerable part of what is considered to be intelligence.ce·re·bral hem·is·phere (ser'ĕ-brăl hem'is-fēr') [TA] Large mass of telencephalon, on either side of midline, consisting of the cerebral cortex and its associated fiber systems, together with the deeper-lying subcortical telencephalic nuclei (i.e., basal nuclei [ganglia]).
