• 3.5 pounds of gelatinous material at the root of everything we do/are
![Page 3: THE HUMAN BRAIN. 3.5 pounds of gelatinous material at the root of everything we do/are.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649dab5503460f94a99239/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• Characterized by sulci (sulcus) and gyri (gyrus)
– sulcus—valley– gyrus—peak

• Divided into hemispheres—right and left—via the longitudinal fissure
• Cerebrum and cerebellum
• Cerebrum divided into four lobes

• Frontal lobe—thinking and motor movement• Parietal lobe—incoming sensory information• Occipital lobe—vision• Temporal lobe—memory and audition

• HINDBRAIN—oldest part; buried deep in brain tissue; processes vital functions; consists of the medulla, the pons and the cerebellum
• MIDBRAIN—next oldest; processes visual and auditory information; consists of the thalamus and other smaller structures

• FOREBRAIN—newest part; cortex and limbic system structures; processes thinking, feelings and motor activity; consists of the four lobes, hypothalamus, amygdala, hippocampus and others
