While the cerebrum has traditionally been viewed as the centerpiece of the human brain responsible for consciousness and higher cognitive functions, recent findings reveal it holds less than 20% of the total neurons. In stark contrast, the cerebellum, often ignored and located behind the cerebrum, contains over 80% of the brain's neurons and is linked to unconscious processes. This shift in perspective advocates for a reevaluation of the cerebellum's importance and role in behavior, highlighting the need for a broader understanding of brain functionality.
The cerebrum, often viewed as the core of the brain's function, houses less than 20 percent of its neurons, while the cerebellum contains 80 percent.
Recent studies suggest that the cerebellum, often overlooked, may play a crucial role in unconscious functions, despite its small stature compared to the cerebrum.
