question 9 of 10
the largest and most recently developed part of the brain is the:

a. midbrain

b. forebrain

c. corpus callosum

d. cerebral cortex

Explanation:

The cerebral cortex is the largest part of the brain and is the most recently developed (evolutionarily and in individual development). The midbrain is a small part of the brainstem. The forebrain is a broader region, but the cerebral cortex (part of the forebrain) is the largest and most recently developed. The corpus callosum is a structure connecting the two hemispheres, not the largest or most recently developed part.

Answer:

D. cerebral cortex
