Your brain has three main parts: 🧠Cerebrum. Your cerebrum interprets your five senses. It regulates conscious actions that require thinking, like your speech, memory, behavior, personality, movement, reasoning and judgment. It’s the largest part of your brain, divided into two halves: the left and right hemispheres. The two halves connect by nerve fiber bundles (white matter) called the corpus callosum. 🧠Cerebellum. Your cerebellum maintains your balance, posture, coordination and fine motor skills. It’s a small, half-circle shape that’s located in the back of your brain around your brainstem. 🧠Brainstem. Your brainstem regulates many automatic body functions. You don’t consciously control these functions, like your heart rate, breathing, sleep and wake cycles, and swallowing. Your brainstem is in the lower part of your brain. It connects the rest of your brain to your spinal cord. Other important parts of your brain include: -Amygdala. It helps you regulate your emotions, especially fear. -Basal ganglia. These structures regulate your movement. -Hippocampus. This is responsible for your memory and learning. -Thalamus. This is the switchboard to your central nervous system. It relays sensory information to your cerebral cortex from the rest of your body. -Hypothalamus. It regulates hormones and autonomic functions like hunger and thirst. -Pituitary gland. It regulates hormone activity. -Pineal gland. This gland regulates your sleep and wake cycles. 🧠Frontal lobes. It controls voluntary movements, social understanding, thinking and learning, and more. 🧠Occipital lobes. This lobe allows you to process and interpret visual information from your eyes. 🧠Parietal lobes. This lobe receives and interprets signals from other parts of your brain so you can understand your environment and the state of your body. 🧠Temporal lobes. This lobe helps you retrieve memories and understand language and emotions. 🔲Gray matter helps you with your day-to-day functioning., like muscle control, using your senses, remembering something, experiencing emotions and speech. ⬜White matter sends signals to different parts of your central nervous system to help you function
