Brain Functions and Structures

This video tutorial explores the brain as the control center of the nervous system. It covers the cerebral cortex, cerebellum, midbrain, thalamus, hypothalamus, and medulla, explaining their locations and functions. The cerebral cortex manages memory and sensory-motor functions, while the hypothalamus controls basic instincts. The cerebellum is responsible for balance and coordination, and the medulla handles essential bodily functions. The video encourages reflection on the relationship between brain part locations and their functions.
