the brain

• The nervous system is made up of motor neurons, sensory neurons, effectors and the CNS.
• The brain performs complex behaviours.
• Different regions of the brain carry out different functions.
• The brain has billions of interconnected neurons.
• Complex behaviours include running, breathing, sleeping.
• The cerebral cortex is responsible for memory, language, intelligence and consciousness.
• The cerebellum is responsible for muscle coordination.
• The medulla is responsible for unconscious activities like breathing and heartbeat.
• The brain is very delicate and the risk of brain damage in study is high.
• MRI scans show very detailed picture of brain structures and finds active parts of brain.
• We can learn more about the brain by studying patients with brain damage.
• We can learn more about the brain by electrically stimulating it.
