Dr. Morton provides an overview of the brain's divisions, including the cerebrum, diencephalon, brainstem, cerebellum, and corpus callosum. The cerebrum is associated with higher-order functions like thought and memory, while the diencephalon includes the thalamus and hypothalamus, which regulate sensory input and hormones. The brainstem, consisting of the midbrain, pons, and medulla, controls basic life functions. The cerebellum coordinates movement, and the corpus callosum connects the brain's hemispheres.
