Structure

The human brain consists of several parts, including the brain stem, cerebral cortex, limbic system and the various lobes such as the frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital lobes.

Functions

The brain regulates a wide range of functions, including movement, sensory perception, emotions, memory, language, thinking and decision-making.

Neurons

Neurons are the basic building blocks of the brain. They communicate with each other via electrical signals and neurotransmitters.

Plasticity

The brain exhibits a degree of plasticity, meaning it can adapt and change in response to experience, injury or training.

Memory

The brain stores information in different types of memory, including short-term memory and long-term memory. These can be influenced by factors such as repetition, emotions and context.

Cognitive functions

The brain enables us to perform complex tasks such as reasoning, problem solving, creativity and planning.

Emotions

The limic system plays a crucial role in regulating emotions and motivation, and it is connected to other parts of the brain involved in decision-making and social behavior.
