Accepted Answer

The telencephalon is the secondary brain vesicle that forms the cerebrum, which is the largest part of the brain responsible for conscious thought, reasoning, and emotion. The prosencephalon is the primary brain vesicle that gives rise to the telencephalon, while the mesencephalon and metencephalon form the midbrain and hindbrain, respectively.
