● The `color{violet}("brain")` is the `color{brown}("central information processing organ")` of our body, and acts as the `color{brown}("‘command and control system’.")`
● It controls the voluntary movements, balance of the body, functioning of `color{violet}("vital involuntary organs")` (e.g., lungs, heart, kidneys, etc.), thermoregulation, hunger and `color{violet}("thirst, circadian")` (24-hour) rhythms of our body, activities of several endocrine glands and human behaviour.
● It is also the site for processing of `color{violet}("vision, hearing, speech, memory, intelligence")`, emotions and thoughts.
● The `color{violet}("human brain")` is well protected by the `color{brown}("skull.")`
● Inside the skull, the brain is covered by `color{brown}("cranial meninges")` consisting of an outer layer called `color{brown}("dura mater,")` a very thin middle layer called `color{brown}("arachnoid")` and an inner layer (which is in contact with the `color{violet}("brain tissue")` ) called `color{brown}("pia mater.")`
● The `color{violet}("brain")` can be divided into three major parts: `color{brown}("(i) forebrain, (ii) midbrain,")` and `color{brown}("(iii) hindbrain ")`
