Brain stem the structure that connects the cerebrum of the brain to the spinal cord and cerebellum
Pons a part of your brainstem, a structure that links your brain to your spinal cord
Medulla oblongata he bottom-most part of your brain
Parietal lobe a brain region that processes sensory information like touch, pain, and temperature, helps you understand your body's position in space, and plays a role in numerical and mathematical abilities
Occipital lobe the brain's visual processing center, located at the very back, responsible for interpreting images from your eyes, enabling you to see colors, depth, motion, and recognize objects by connecting visual input with stored memories.
Frontal lobe the brain's front-most part, controlling higher thinking like planning, decision-making, personality, and voluntary movement
Temporal lobe a brain area by your temples crucial for hearing, memory, and language, processing sounds, forming memories, and understanding speech, while also handling emotions and visual recognition like faces.
Motor cortex the brain's command center in the frontal lobe, responsible for planning and initiating voluntary movements by sending electrical signals to muscles, coordinating complex actions, and controlling the force and direction of movements

Corpus callosum a thick band of nerve fibers connecting the brain's left and right hemispheres
Pituitary gland a tiny, pea-sized gland at the base of the brain, often called the "master gland," that makes hormones controlling many essential body functions like growth, metabolism, and reproduction, by receiving signals from the hypothalamus and directing other glan
Thalamus a crucial brain structure acting as a central relay station, filtering and routing most sensory (sight, sound, touch, taste) and motor signals between the body, spinal cord, and the cerebral cortex (the brain's outer layer), playing key roles in conscious
