What are the largest and the smallest parts of the human brain?

Answer #1

Sure…make me dust off my mother’s medical texts, lol…..the largest part is the cerebrum, and the smallest is the brain stem.

Answer #2

Largest : Cerebrum Smallest : Midbrain

Answer #3

If you get really technical, the smallest part could be one of the small glands, like pituitary or pineal gland.

Answer #4

I was going to say probably the pineal gland for the smallest, and the cerebral cortex for the largest. The human cerebral cortex is HUGE!
