The human brain can be divided into three main parts: the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain. The forebrain includes the cerebrum, thalamus, and hypothalamus. The cerebrum is responsible for various senses and cognitive functions like memory and intelligence. The thalamus receives sensory signals from the body and relays them to the cerebrum, while the hypothalamus regulates body processes like temperature and hunger. The midbrain acts as a relay station between the cerebrum and spinal cord. The hindbrain contains the cerebellum, pons, and medulla. The cerebellum controls balance and muscle movement, while the pons and medulla regulate vital functions like

3. Human Brain
A human brain can be divided into
three parts: forebrain, midbrain and
hindbrain.

4. Forebrain
The forebrain consists
of cerebrum, thalamus
and hypothalamus

5.  Cerebrum: The cerebrum is the most
prominent region of the human brain.
 Function:
The cerebrum is the main centre of
various sensations e.g., hearing, sight,
smell, memory, intelligence, reasoning
etc.
Cerebral hemisphere: A deep groove
divides the cerebrum into right and left
cerebral hemisphere.

6.  Thalamus
Location: The thalamus is below the cerebrum.
Function: It receives all the impulses
from different sensory areas of the body before
passing them to the cerebrum.
 Hypothalamus
Location: On the ventral side of the thalamus, is
the hypothalamus.
Function: It regulates body temperature,
appetite, water balance, blood pressure etc. It
also controls heartbeat, thirst, and hunger. It
secretes hormones.

7. Midbrain
Location:
The midbrain is just a mass of tract.
It lies immediately under the lower
part of the cerebrum between the
two hemispheres.
Function: It acts as a relay station for
tracts passing between the cerebrum
and the spinal cord
or cerebellum.

8. Hindbrain
 The hindbrain includes cerebellum, pons and
medulla.
Cerebellum:
 Location: It is situated under the cerebrum.
Function: It controls balance and muscle
contraction.
Pons: is a small lobe like structure.
 Function: It functions with the medulla to
regulate breathing rate.
Medulla: Location: Medulla oblongata lies below
the cerebrum. Its posterior end narrows down
gradually into the spinal cord.
 Function: It controls heartbeat, circulation of
blood and respiration etc.
