BRAIN

BRAIN

• Brain is an organ of soft nervous tissue contained in the skull of vertebrates, functioning as the coordinating centre of sensation, and of intellectual and nervous activity.

• The brain, together with the spinal cord, constitutes the central nervous system.
• It is responsible for monitoring and regulating unconscious and voluntary actions and reactions in the body.
• It is also the intellectual centre that allows thought, learning, memory, and creativity.

• Brainstem- the central trunk of the brain, upon which the cerebrum and cerebellum are set, and which continues downwards to form the spinal cord.
