It is a bilateral, or two-sided, structure that can be separated into distinct lobes. Each lobe is associated with certain types of functions, but, ultimately, all of the areas of the brain interact with one another to provide the foundation for our thoughts and behaviors. In this section, we discuss the overall organization of the brain and the functions associated with different brain areas.

It is the center of consciousness and also controls all voluntary and involuntary movement and bodily functions. It communicates with each part of the body through the nervous system, a network of channels that carry electrochemical signals.

The original design of this system is preserved across many animals through evolution; thus, adaptive physiological and behavioral functions are similar across many animal species.

Memory traces, or engrams, involve neural changes associated with memory storage, aided by neuroplasticity. The hippocampus helps consolidate memories but doesn't store them.

The corpus callosum connects the hemispheres for communication. The brain consists of four lobes: the frontal lobe (executive functions), temporal lobe (memory, language comprehension), occipital lobe (visual processing), and parietal lobe (sensory integration, spatial processing).
