📖 1. Brain regions overview

🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Cerebrum: The largest brain region, consisting of two hemispheres and five lobes per hemisphere, responsible for higher brain functions.
  • Diencephalon: A major brain region situated beneath the cerebrum, involved in sensory and motor signal relay and regulation of consciousness and sleep.
  • Brainstem: The structure connecting the brain to the spinal cord, responsible for basic life functions such as breathing, heartbeat, and blood pressure.
  • Cerebellum: Located at the back of the brain, it coordinates voluntary movements, balance, and posture.
  • Gyri: The ridges or raised folds on the surface of the brain, increasing surface area.
  • Sulci: The shallow depressions or grooves between gyri on the brain surface; deeper sulci are called fissures.
