In the Cerebral Cortex there are four sections, called lobes. They each have a different function. The Frontal Lobe is used to plan, talk, move, and solve problems. It is also associated with emotions. The Parietal Lobe is associated with movement, orientation, and recognizing things. The Temporal Lobe is used to talk, and is associated with memory. And finally the Occipital Lobe is associated with visual processing. That's all I know about the subject, but I'm sure that you can go into much more detail

The skull is composed of 2 parietal bones which cover most of the side of the head, 2 temporal bones around the ear and temples, an occipital bone in back at the base of the skull, 2 frontal bones of the forehead, 2 nasal bones that form the bridge of the nose, 2 maxillary bones that form the cheeks, 2 palatine bones that form the hard palate, and the mandibula or jaw bone.

Few minor edits, the maxilla does not form the cheeks this is actually the zygomatic bone or zygomatic arch. Also there are the sphenoid, Ethmoid and lacrimal bones that were missd out.

Cranium - The bony part of the skull
Dura Mater - a tough, fibrous layer
Arachnoid - a thin membrane
Subarachnoid space - filled with CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) and contains fibers that connect the arachnoid to the pia mater
Pia Mater - a thin membrane that follows the contours of the brain
