- Cerebrum: responsible for conscious thought, movement, sensation, and emotion
- Cerebellum: coordinates voluntary movement and balance
- Brainstem: controls basic life-sustaining functions such as breathing and heart rate
- Thalamus: relays sensory information to the cerebral cortex
- Hypothalamus: regulates body temperature, hunger, thirst, and hormone release
- Amygdala: involved in processing emotions, especially fear and aggression
- Hippocampus: plays a key role in memory formation and spatial navigation.
