The brain is the control centre for your body and it sits in your skull at the top of your spinal cord. The brain has three main parts. 1  The cerebellum (say se-re-bell-um).

The bumps or ridges on the surface of the brain are called gyri (singular = gyrus). The folding of the cortex increases the cortical surface area. The cerebral cortex, made up of four lobes is involved in many complex brain functions including memory, perceptual awareness, thinking, language and consciousness.he bumps or ridges on the surface of the brain are called gyri (singular = gyrus).
