Essay / Research Paper Abstract
14 pages in length. The human brain is comprised of three primary components - forebrain, midbrain and hindbrain – all of which have their respective sets of subcomponents: forebrain – cerebrum, thalamus and hypothalamus; midbrain – tectum and tegmentum; and hindbrain – cerebellum, pons and medulla, also known as the brain stem. The cerebrum – also called the cortex – represents the most volume of brain tissue inasmuch as it is directly responsible for the higher functionality of action and thought. It is subdivided into four specific lobes – frontal, parietal, occipital and temporal – with each section maintaining an individual function. Bibliography lists 20 sources.

forebrain - cerebrum, thalamus and hypothalamus; midbrain - tectum and tegmentum; and hindbrain - cerebellum, pons and medulla, also known as the brain stem (Serendip, 2005).
The cerebrum - also called the cortex - represents the most volume of brain tissue inasmuch as it is directly responsible for the higher functionality of action
and thought. It is subdivided into four specific lobes - frontal, parietal, occipital and temporal - with each section maintaining an individual function. 1. Frontal Lobe- associated with
reasoning, planning, parts of speech, movement, emotions, and problem solving 2. Parietal Lobe- associated with movement, orientation, recognition, perception of stimuli 3. Occipital Lobe- associated with visual processing 4. Temporal
Lobe- associated with perception and recognition of auditory stimuli, memory, and speech (Serendip, 2005). The wrinkles that make up the brains texture
are not there just by accident, but rather they play an integral role in brain capacity: The folds provide for greater volume of brain matter that in turn allows for
a greater number of neurons. Connected by the corpus callosum, the two parts of the cerebrum - left and right hemispheres - operate a bit differently from each other,
with the two main differences being logic resides on the left and creativity is controlled by the right. Mammals are separated from all others in the animal kingdom by
having a neocortex, a "six-layered structure" (Serendip, 2005) that is suspected of being intrinsically involved in higher forms of processing information. Close in appearance to the cerebrum, the cerebellum
- or little brain - controls such functions as posture, balance and movement (Serendip, 2005). The limbic system, located inside the cerebrum, is comprised of the thalamus (sensory and motor
