What are the Parts of the Brain?

The video explores the human brain's structure and functions. It begins with an overview of the brain's size and the folding of the cortex. The brain is divided into four main lobes: occipital, parietal, temporal, and frontal, each with distinct functions. The occipital lobe handles visual processing, the parietal lobe processes sensory information, the temporal lobe manages auditory processing and memory, and the frontal lobe is crucial for cognitive abilities. Subcortical structures like the thalamus, hypothalamus, cerebellum, and brain stem are also discussed, highlighting their roles in sensory relay, hormone regulation, movement coordination, and vital functions.
