· The hindbrain located at the base of the brain, just above the spinal code. Its primary function is to monitor maintain and control basic life functions such as breathing and heartbeat.
· Above the hindbrain is a relatively small area the midbrain. It involves the area that is involved in some sensory reflexes and helps to regulate brain arousal
· The forebrain comprises most of the brain that includes the cerebral cortex with billions of neurons. The cerebral cortex is the primary neural substrate of what might be termed higher cognitive functioning- remembering; planning; deciding communicating e.t.c.
· Beneath the cortex lies an array of important structures that are involved in basic processes such as the regulation of memory and emotions.
