Study Notes
The Brain
- The human brain can be divided into three main regions: the hindbrain, the midbrain, and the forebrain.
The Forebrain
- Located at the top of the brain
- Responsible for:
- Complex mental processes such as decision-making, problem-solving, and processing sensory information
- Initiating voluntary movement
- Maintaining the body's stable biological state, known as homeostasis
- Consists of three key structures:
- Cerebrum
- Thalamus
- Hypothalamus
- Larger in humans compared to fish, indicating a higher level of cognitive abilities
Functions of Brain Regions
- Forebrain: responsible for complex mental processes, decision-making, and problem-solving
- Hindbrain: location not specified, but distinct from forebrain and midbrain
- Midbrain: location not specified, but distinct from forebrain and hindbrain
