The structure of the brain

• Made up of two halves called cerebral hemispheres
• They are connected by the corpus callosum which is made of nerve tissue and allows messages to be delivered from one side to another
• The left side of the brain connects to the right side of the body and vice versa
• Outside of brain is protected by a triple layer membrane called the meninges
• The cerebrum is the largest part of your brain (83%) and are folded with deep crevices. The outer layer of the cerebrum is the cerebral cortex
• The cerebellum is located at the back of the brain below the 2 hemispheres and is a much smaller part of the brain (11%) which deals with fine motor skills (particularly hands and feet)
• The hypothalamus is located at the base of the brain and connects to the pituitary gland. Both play key roles as glands of the endocrine system
  
• The medulla oblongata is the lowest part of the brain and is located at the bottom of the brain stem. It is the connection between the brain and the spinal cord

PL - Helps you feel touch, pain, and know where your body is

FL - Controls thinking, planning, movement, and emotions

LL - Handles emotions, memory, and behaviour

CC - Connects the left and right sides of the brain and lets them talk to each other

PG - A small gland that makes hormones and controls other glands in your body

SC - Carries messages between your brain and the rest of your body

C - Helps you balance and coordinate your movements

MO - Controls basic body functions like breathing and heartbeat

OL - Helps you see and understand what you’re looking at

PG - A small part of the brain that helps control your sleep by making melatonin

Temporal Lobe

One of the four main lobes of the cerebral cortex.

Located on the side of the brain (near your temples).

Functions include:

Hearing and language processing

Memory formation

Understanding speech

Processing emotions (especially in the amygdala and hippocampus, which are inside the temporal lobe)

The structure of the brain (Summary)

Parietal Lobe: A part of the brain that processes touch, temperature, pain, and helps you know where your body parts are.

Frontal Lobe: The part of the brain behind the forehead that controls thinking, planning, emotions, and movement.

Limbic Lobe: A group of brain structures involved in emotions, memory, and behavior.

Corpus Callosum: A bundle of nerve fibers that connects the left and right sides of the brain, allowing them to communicate.

Hypothalamus: A small part of the brain that controls body temperature, hunger, thirst, and hormones.

Pituitary Gland: A tiny gland under the brain that makes hormones and controls other glands in the body.

Spinal Cord: A long bundle of nerves in the spine that sends messages between the brain and the body.

Cerebellum: A part of the brain at the back that helps with balance, coordination, and fine movements.

Medulla Oblongata: The lower part of the brainstem that controls basic life functions like breathing and heart rate.

Occipital Lobe: The part of the brain at the back of the head that processes visual information (sight).

Pineal Gland: A small gland in the brain that helps regulate sleep by producing a hormone called melatonin.
