These structures manage basic survival functions. The hindbrain, comprising the medulla oblongata, pons, and cerebellum, controls respiration and movement. The midbrain supports motor and sensory functions, while the diencephalon's thalamus and hypothalamus regulate emotions and behaviors.

The occipital lobe processes visual information, while the parietal lobe processes sensory input such as touch, taste, and temperature. The temporal lobe is involved in processing sounds and language, with regions like Wernicke's and Broca's areas responsible for speech comprehension and production.

The brain, part of the central nervous system along with the spinal cord, is divided into two hemispheres connected by the corpus callosum. The text also discusses brain plasticity and how studying brain damage, such as strokes, contributes to understanding brain function.

The brain's development process includes cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, synaptogenesis, pruning, and myelination. Neurons, with their axons and dendrites, transmit electrical impulses that form thoughts and feelings. The brain is not fully developed until age 25, with significant development occurring in the first three years.
