quick facts
- The brain is made up of three main parts: the cerebrum, the cerebellum, and the brainstem.
- The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain and is responsible for thinking, problem-solving, and controlling voluntary movements.
- The cerebellum is located at the back of the brain and helps with coordination, balance, and muscle control.
- The brainstem controls basic functions such as breathing, heart rate, and digestion.
- Each part of the brain has specific functions but they all work together to help us think, move, feel, and stay alive.
