Know the brain regions

Our brain is a soft, grey organ that influences how we feel, act, and everything in between. The below infographic provides a birds-eye view of the brain regions and their fundamental functions

Written by Varsha Vivek

A detailed image of the brain and its neural connections. The following brain regions are marked and blurbs that explain its function. Frontal Lobe It is responsible for cognitive functions such as decision-making, planning, and problem-solving. It is instrumental in cementing one's personality and social behaviour. Motor Cortex This region controls voluntary movements of the body. It sends signals to muscles across the body based on signals it receives from other regions of the brain. Parietal lobe This region of the brain is responsible for spatial awareness and processing sensory information from the body, including touch, temperature, and pain. Occipital Lobe The sole purpose of the occipital lobe is to process visual information. Details like colour, motion, and shape are processed in connection to other brain regions through nerve fibres called optic radiation. Temporal lobe This is where sound is processed. While the left temporal lobe is where language is processed, the right temporal lobe processes non-verbal sounds like music and recognises people from their voices. Limbic system The amygdala, hippocampus and hypothalamus are the main structures of the limbic system. It is among these structures that the epicentre of emotion, fear, anger, hunger, thirst and pleasure lies. Sometimes called the 'primate brain' because of its role in the fight-or-flight response. Cerebellum Body balance and coordinated movement are maintained by the cerebellum. Learning to ride a bike, play an instrument and is set in motion from here. It gathers sensory input from different parts of the body to coordinate and learn. Brain stem It is the bridge between the brain and the spinal cord. The spinal cord is the highway that connects all the nerves across the body. — *An infographic on regions of the brain and their functions | Illustration by Varsha Vivek | Canva*
