### The Human Brain: Anatomy and Functions (1000 Lines Overview)
---
**1. Introduction**
* The human brain is a complex organ that serves as the center of the nervous
system.
* It is responsible for processing sensory information, regulating bodily
functions, and enabling thought, memory, and emotion.
* The adult human brain weighs approximately 1.4 kilograms and contains about 86
billion neurons.
**2. Major Divisions of the Brain**
* The brain is divided into three main parts:
* **Forebrain**: includes the cerebrum, thalamus, and hypothalamus.
* **Midbrain**: a small central part of the brainstem associated with vision,
hearing, and motor control.
* **Hindbrain**: includes the cerebellum, pons, and medulla oblongata.
**3. The Cerebrum**
* Largest part of the brain, responsible for higher brain functions.
* Divided into two hemispheres: left and right.
* Each hemisphere is further divided into four lobes:
* **Frontal Lobe**: reasoning, planning, movement, emotions, problem-solving.
* **Parietal Lobe**: perception of stimuli, spatial orientation, and body
awareness.
* **Temporal Lobe**: auditory processing and memory.
* **Occipital Lobe**: visual processing.
**4. The Cerebellum**
* Located under the cerebrum.
* Responsible for coordination of voluntary movements, balance, and posture.
**5. The Brainstem**
* Connects the brain to the spinal cord.
* Made up of the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata.
* Controls basic life functions such as breathing, heartbeat, and blood pressure.
**6. The Limbic System**
* Emotional center of the brain.
* Includes the hippocampus (memory), amygdala (emotion), and hypothalamus
(homeostasis).
**7. The Neuron**
* The basic working unit of the brain, a specialized cell transmitting information
via electrical and chemical signals.
* Consists of the cell body, dendrites, and axon.
**8. Neurotransmitters**
* Chemicals that transmit signals across a synapse from one neuron to another.
* Examples include dopamine, serotonin, acetylcholine, and glutamate.
**9. Brain Plasticity**
* Also known as neuroplasticity, refers to the brain's ability to change and adapt
as a result of experience.
* Essential for learning and memory.
**10. Common Brain Disorders**
* **Alzheimer's Disease**: progressive memory loss and cognitive decline.
* **Parkinson's Disease**: movement disorder caused by degeneration of neurons.
* **Epilepsy**: abnormal electrical activity in the brain causing seizures.
* **Stroke**: interruption of blood supply to the brain causing cell death.

function, interaction, neural pathways, brain development, imaging technologies,
and cognitive processes. It will also cover neurological research, interesting
brain facts, and historical perspectives.)*
