The largest part of the brain; responsible for thinking, memory, emotions, decision-making, movement, and your senses.

Controls balance, coordination, and smooth movement.

Connects the brain to the spinal cord and controls basic life functions like breathing, heart rate, and digestion.

Part of the brain stem that helps with breathing, sleep, and sending messages between different parts of the brain.

Controls vital automatic functions such as breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure.

Processes touch, temperature, pain, and helps with spatial awareness (knowing where things are in space).

Handles vision — everything you see is processed here.

Responsible for planning, decision-making, personality, problem-solving, and voluntary movement.

Processes hearing, language, and forming memories.

Controls voluntary movements (like raising your hand or kicking a ball).

Receives and interprets information from your senses — mainly touch.

A bundle of nerve fibers that connects the left and right sides of the brain so they can communicate.

A small endocrine gland that releases hormones controlling growth, puberty, metabolism, and other hormonal processes.

The brain’s “relay station” — sends sensory information to the correct part of the brain to be processed.

Controls hunger, thirst, body temperature, sleep cycles, and works with the pituitary gland to regulate hormones.

Crucial for forming and storing new memories and learning.
