The brain is one of the most complex and magnificent organs in the human body.ĭownload this video of a spinning record with the Twilio logo in the center, and store it in the videos directory with the name spinningRecord.mp4. Our brain gives us awareness of ourselves and of our environment, processing a constant stream of sensory data. It controls our muscle movements, the secretions of our glands, and even our breathing and internal temperature. In fact, the human brain is so complicated that it remains an exciting frontier The brain’s neurons record the memory of every event in our lives.Įvery creative thought, feeling, and plan is developed by our brain. In the study of the body doctors, psychologists, and scientists are continually endeavoring to learn exactly how the many structures of the brain work together intricately to create our powerful human mind.
There are different ways of dividing the brain anatomically into regions.
Let’s use a common method and divide the brain into three main regions based on embryonic development: the forebrain, midbrain and hindbrain. The forebrain (or prosencephalon) is made up of our incredible cerebrum, thalamus, hypothalamus and pineal gland among other features. Neuroanatomists call the cerebral area the telencephalon and use the term diencephalon (or interbrain) to refer to the area where our thalamus, hypothalamus and pineal gland reside. The midbrain (or mesencephalon), located near the very center of the brain between the interbrain and the hindbrain, is composed of a portion of the brainstem. The hindbrain (or rhombencephalon) consists of the remaining brainstem as well as our cerebellum and pons. Neuroanatomists have a word to describe the brainstem sub-region of our hindbrain, calling it the myelencephalon, while they use the word metencephalon in reference to our cerebellum and pons collectively.īefore exploring these different regions of the brain, first let’s define the important types of cells and tissues that are the building blocks of them all. Histologyīrain cells can be broken into two groups: neurons and neuroglia. Neurons, or nerve cells, are the cells that perform all of the communication and processing within the brain.
