National Geographics is a reliable source.

The two biggest parts of the brain would be the cerebrum and cerebellum. The cerebrum has two halves and is divided into four different sections. The frontal lobes are for speaking, thinking, learning, emotions, and movement. The parietal lobes are for touch, temperature, and pain. The occipital loves are for seeing. The temporal loves are for hearing and memory. The cerebellum is important because it coordinates muscle movements and balance. The brain stem is responsible for reflexes and basic functions such as breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure. It also regulates when you're tired or awake.

  1. Cool cool, Charizard.
    It's crazy to think about how the brain controls everything we do or think about, especially when you take into account that its all handled with little electric pulses. Like computers!
    anyways, it's pretty cool to think about the fact that you're thinking about thinking about things. Its like, thoughtception. Peace broski.
