The brain is the central organ of the nervous system, located in the head. It interprets sensory information, processes thoughts, and coordinates body functions.
Composed of neurons, it forms complex neural networks responsible for cognition, emotions, and motor control. The brain governs consciousness, memory, and learning, playing a crucial role in shaping human behavior and responses to the environment.
- Parietal Lobe: Processes sensory information, such as touch and spatial perception.
- Frontal Lobe: Controls higher cognitive functions and voluntary movement.
- Temporal Lobe: Handles hearing, memory, and processing auditory information.
- Occipital Lobe: Processes visual information for color, shape, and motion perception.
- Spinal Cord: Communication channel between the brain and the body for motor and sensory functions.
- Cerebellum: Coordinates balance, posture, and precise muscle movements.
