Overall, from examining the brain from a three-dimensional stand point, I have learned a plethora of information to help me better understand the different capabilities my own brain has. Beginning with the cerebrum, I learned that this area mostly controls posture, balance, and coordination primarily in already learned, physical skills. A great example for better understanding of this area would be learning a dance. At first, one will not be capable of having the proper posture with each move, or perhaps even enough balance; however, once one practices and memorizes the routine it becomes a learned physical skill and thus the cerebrum allows one to perform the moves correctly. Next, the parietal lobe is located at the very top of the head.

The frontal lobe performs some of the most important tasks, such as: planning, reasoning, movement, and even some aspects of speech; however, this is no surprise considering that it is the largest out of all four lobes. Not to mention, the frontal lobe is also connected directly to the limbic system, which is where all emotions, cravings, and drives …show more content…
It processes as well as interprets different sensory information from the eyes; essentially, allowing us to understand what we are actually looking at. One must always be careful when taking a fall and hitting their head, as damage to the occipital lobe can cause blindness. The brainstem is not only the oldest and most basic brain region, but also, in my opinion, the most important. It controls things we absolutely could not live without, such as breathing functions and our heart beat. It also helps mange other important functions such as: walking, digestion, body temperature, and removal of wastes. We may often take the brain stem for granted because most of the time the functions it allows us to perform are so unconscious to us! The corpus callosum is essentially the fibers that connect both sides of the brain together. Each hemisphere of the brain has specific functions it specializes in; however, the corpus callosum is the one which allows both sides to work together and integrate functions from both. Lastly, the limbic system and thalamus have several functions. To began, not only is the limbic system present working with the frontal lobe as mentioned in the former, but also it as well helps the brain stem in regulating temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, and blood
