The brain is a complex organ that controls all of our bodily functions. It consists of two hemispheres, which are divided into four sections – the cerebrum, cerebellum, limbic system and brain stem. The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain and it contains the cerebral cortex, which is responsible for higher cognitive processes such as thought, memory and emotion. The cerebellum is responsible for coordinating muscle movement and balance. The limbic system includes the hippocampus and amygdala, which are involved in learning and memory. Lastly, the brain stem is responsible for basic vital functions such as breathing and heart rate.
