The **Cerebrum** is the largest part of the brain. It is referred to as the Cerebral Cortex. It is divided into the left and right hemisphere’s. The hemisphere’s are both divided into four regions, or lobes, each managing specific tasks. It is the processing center for thought, language, memory, sensory information, and movement. Basically, the Cerebrum is the whole brain. It is divided into the left and right hemisphere, which consist of the different regions or lobes.

The **Left Hemisphere** is the cerebral hemisphere to the left of the Corpus Callosum that controls the right half of the body. The left hemisphere (left side of the brain) is typically where the brain processes mathematical, analytical, and language oriented information.

The **Right Hemisphere** is the cerebral hemisphere to the right of the Corpus Callosum that controls the left half of the body. The right hemisphere (right side of the brain) is generally responsible for our creative, artistic, and spontaneous thoughts.

The **Frontal Lobe** is located behind the forehead. It is the anterior part of each cerebral hemisphere. It’s responsible for complex mental processes such as speech, thought, learning, emotion, and movement.

The **Parietal Lobe** is the middle part of each cerebral hemisphere. It’s responsible for interpreting bodily sensations such as touch, temperature, and pain.

The **Temporal Lobe** is the lateral lobe of each cerebral hemisphere. It’s responsible for processing sounds and certain memory functions. There are also sectors here that help with vision.

The **Cerebellum** is the second largest part of the brain. It coordinates muscle movement and controls balance. It also receives information form the spinal cord and other parts of the brain/

The **Occipital Lobe** is the most posterior lobe of each cerebral hemisphere. It sits at the back of the brain and is responsible for processing visual images.

The **Brain Stem** if the portion of the brain that is continuous with the spinal cord. It is located at the base of the brain. It regulates the reflexes and the body’s basic Involuntary actions, such as heart rate, breathing, sleeping and blood pressure.

The **Medulla Oblongata** is the lowest or hindmost part of the brain. It is continuous with the spinal cord, and makes up the lower portion of the brain stem. It controls certain involuntary body processes like breathing, heartbeat, and blood pressure.
