The Brain

• The brain is the control center of the body and is responsible for all of our thoughts, feelings, and actions.
• Each hemisphere controls the opposite side of the body.
• The left hemisphere is dominant for language processing in most people.
• The cerebrum is divided into two halves called hemispheres.
• The right hemisphere is less well understood but appears to be involved in spatial awareness, creativity, and emotional processing.
• The left hemisphere is dominant in most people and controls language, logic, math, and reasoning skills.
• The right hemisphere is involved in spatial reasoning and visual-spatial skills.
• The cerebellum is located at the back of the skull and plays an important role in coordinating movement and maintaining balance.
• The frontal lobe is responsible for voluntary movement motor control, problem solving, and speech production.
• The occipital lobes process visual information from the eyes.
• The temporal lobes are associated with hearing, memory, and emotion.
• The parietal lobes receive sensory input from touch, pressure, temperature, pain, and body position.
• The occipital lobe is responsible for sight, visual reception, and visual interpretation.
• The brainstem is responsible for the autonomic nervous system, which controls involuntary functions such as heart rate and breathing.
• The cerebellum is responsible for balance and coordination.
• Each hemisphere has four lobes: frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital.
• The brain is the central organ of the nervous system and it coordinates various bodily functions.
• The cerebrum is the largest and most prominent part of the brain, occupying the uppermost portion. It consists of two cerebral hemispheres connected by a structure called the corpus callosum.
• The cerebrum is responsible for the higher functions of the brain, such as perception, language, reasoning, and problem solving.
• The brainstem connects the cerebral cortex to the spinal cord.
• The brainstem controls involuntary movement such as breathing, heart rate, and consciousness.
• The spinal cord transmits sensory and motor signals between the brain and the body.
• The pituitary gland regulates hormonal processes in the body. It produces hormones that influence growth, metabolism, sexual development, reproduction, and more.
• The hypothalamus plays an important role in regulating bodily functions such as hunger, thirst, sleep, and emotions.
• The parietal lobe is responsible for somatosensory processing relating to touch, temperature, pain, taste, and body position.
• The Parietal lobe is responsible for attention and perception.
• the parietal lobe is responsible for spatial awareness.
• The temporal lobe is responsible for memory formations and retrieval of long-term memories.
• The temporal lobe is responsible for processing sound information and interpreting speech.
