Basic Parts of the Brain and Their Responsibilities Weighing in at about three pounds, this organ has a wide range of responsibilities. From coordinating our movement to managing our emotions, the brain does it all. The brain is made up of three main parts: the forebrain, the brainstem, and the hindbrain.The forebrain is the most complex of the three parts.It gives us the ability to feel, learn, and remember. It consists of two parts: the telencephalon (contains the cerebral cortex and corpus callosum) and the diencephalon (contains the thalamus and hypothalamus).rom coordinating our movement to managing our emotions, the brain does it all.

The Hindbrain: Definition, Structures & Function The hindbrain is the region of the brain formed by the pons, medulla oblongata (also known as just the medulla), and the cerebellum. Together, these three structures govern our autonomic, or 'automated' body systems, controlling everything from our heart, breathing, and sleep patterns to our bladder function, sense of equilibrium, and fine motor control.

- In general, the forebrain processes cognitive, auditory, sensory, and visual information, as well as being involved in the forming and storage of memory and emotion. Much of what the forebrain does is linked to the cerebrum.he two main sections of the forebrain, however, are the telencephalon and the diencephalon. The telecephalon includes the cerebral cortex, the subcortical structures, and the corpus callosum, while the diencephalon includes the thalamus and the hypothalamus.

Parts of the Brain; Function Cerebrum. The cerebrum or sometimes called cortex is the largest part of the brain. The cerebrum is the one responsible for the different thoughts and actions. It consists of two equal halves called the left and right hemispheres. They are connected through a corpus collosum.he brain has three main parts: the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain. Forebrain. This part of the brain is located at the area of our forehead. The forebrain is responsible for the different feelings of emotions, organizing, planning, memory, reasoning, speech, movement, visual processing, and others.

The cerebral cortex is divided into four sections, called lobes: the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe, and temporal lobe.erve cells make up the gray surface of the cerebrum which is a little thicker than your thumb. White nerve fibers underneath carry signals between the nerve cells and other parts of the brain and body. The neocortex occupies the bulk of the cerebrum.

Anatomy of the Brain The cerebrum is the largest and most developmentally advanced part of the human brain. It is responsible for several higher functions, including higher intellectual function, speech, emotion, integration of sensory stimuli of all types, initiation of the final common pathways for movement, and fine control of movement.

- Let's review! The term hindbrain refers to the oldest (evolutionarily speaking) portion of our brain, which is composed of the brainstem (made up of the pons and the medulla oblongata) and the cerebellum. Each of these structures plays a major role in coordinating and controlling the vital automated systems of our body.

Brain structure Evolution and brain structure. The three main structures just described, the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain, evolved in different periods of human pre-history. In the womb, the development of these structures roughly corresponds to their evolutionary development. The hindbrain is the oldest part of the brain in evolutionary terms and the first to develop prenatally. The midbrain evolved after the hindbrain and is the second structure to develop prenatally. Finally, the forebrain is the most recent evolutionary addition and is the last to develop prenatally.
