Brain: Cerebral Cortex and Brain Lobes
The cerebral cortex of the brain is divided into four lobes responsible for distinct functions: frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital.
Brain: Midbrain and Brain Stem
Regions of the brain other than the cerebral cortex include those involved in sleep, memory, attention, motor coordination, and motivation.
Spinal Cord
The spinal cord is a bundle of nerves that is connected to the brain and relays information from the brain to the body and vice versa.
