Study Notes
- The brain is divided into different parts with specific functions and interactions between them.
- The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain, divided into left and right hemispheres.
- The left hemisphere controls the right side of the body, analytical thinking, and language centers for most individuals.
- The right hemisphere controls the left side of the body, spatial relations, facial recognition, and music processing.
- Both hemispheres communicate through the corpus callosum, enabling various brain functions.
- The cerebrum is further divided into lobes: frontal lobe (higher-level thinking and motor control), parietal lobe (sensory processing), occipital lobe (visual perception), and temporal lobe (auditory processing and language centers).
- The limbic system, including the hippocampus and amygdala, plays a crucial role in learning, memory, and emotional responses.
- Other important parts of the brain include the hypothalamus (homeostasis control), pituitary gland (hormone regulation), thalamus (relay center for sensory input), cerebellum (motor learning and coordination), and brain stem (control of involuntary functions like breathing and reflexes).
