a crucial part of the hindbrain, located at the back of the head, that coordinates voluntary movements, maintains balance, posture, muscle tone, and enables motor learning

the vital, stem-like structure connecting the cerebrum and cerebellum to the spinal cord, consisting of the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata

a crucial part of the brainstem, acting as a bridge connecting the cerebrum and cerebellum, relaying signals for movement, sensation (hearing, balance, taste), and controlling vital unconscious functions like breathing, sleep, and swallowing

the lower part of the brainstem that connects the brain to the spinal cord

a brain region located in the upper-middle part of the head that processes sensory information like touch, pain, and temperature, as well as helping with spatial awareness and navigation

the brain's visual processing center, located at the very back of your head, responsible for receiving and interpreting information from your eyes, allowing you to see colors, shapes, motion, and depth to form a coherent picture of the world

the brain's front section, responsible for higher-level functions like personality, decision-making, planning, problem-solving, movement, and language production (speech)

a brain region, located behind your ears, crucial for processing sounds (like speech), understanding language, forming memories (with the hippocampus), recognizing objects/faces, and managing emotions (via the amygdala)

a region in the brain's frontal lobe that is responsible for planning and executing voluntary movements by sending signals to the body's muscles

the part of the brain that receives and processes sensory information, like touch, sight, and hearing, to help you understand the world around you

a large bundle of nerve fibers that acts as a superhighway, connecting the brain's left and right hemispheres, allowing them to communicate and share information rapidly for coordinated functions, like movement, sensation, and complex thinking

a small, pea-sized gland located at the base of your brain below your hypothalamus

a paired gray matter structure of the diencephalon located near the center of the brain

an area of the brain that produces hormones that regulate: Body temperature. Heart rate. Hunger. Mood.

a small, seahorse-shaped brain structure deep in the temporal lobe crucial for learning, memory formation (especially long-term), and emotion regulation
