Plural of cerebrum; multiple instances of the main, largest part of the brain responsible for thinking, memory, and voluntary movement.
From Latin cerebrum (brain), which may derive from a root meaning 'to create' or be related to Sanskrit kriyas. The plural cerebrums is less common than 'cerebra' but appears in some technical contexts.
While 'cerebra' is the traditional Latin plural, some scientists use 'cerebrums' to keep things in English—it's a tiny linguistic battle playing out in neuroscience papers.
