The anterior part of the forebrain, which includes the cerebral hemispheres.

The two main parts of the telencephalon; they are responsible for higher-level functions.

The oldest part of the cerebral cortex, involved in olfaction and emotions.

The part of the cerebral cortex lying between the archiocortex and the neocortex.

The newest part of the cerebral cortex; responsible for higher-level cognitive functions.

The organ that controls the body's functions.

The space inside the skull that houses the brain.

Control, coordinate, integrate body functions, and regulate other parts of the nervous system.

A compact region in the brain containing fibers connecting the cerebral cortex with other parts of the brain and body. It acts as a 'highway' for signals to and from the cortex, passing through it without interruption.

Clusters of gray matter deep within the cerebral hemispheres that play a crucial role in regulating movement and other cognitive functions.

One of the basal nuclei involved in planning, learning, and controlling voluntary movements.

Another basal nucleus involved in movement coordination and learning.

A basal nucleus that helps refine and regulate movements by sending signals to other motor centers.

The hindbrain, which is one of the three primary brain divisions. It's responsible for basic life functions like breathing, heart rate, and balance.

The forebrain, the most advanced and complex part of the brain. It includes the diencephalon and the telencephalon.

The most primitive part of the brain, consisting of the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata. It controls essential functions like breathing, heart rate, and awareness.
