The human brain can be divided into three main parts: the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain:

1/ The forebrain includes the several lobes of the cerebral cortex that control higher functions.

2/ Midbrain functions include routing, selecting, mapping, and cataloguing information, including information perceived from the environment and information that is remembered and processed throughout the cerebral cortex.

3/ Hindbrain - (rhombencephalon) is a developmental categorization of portions of the central nervous system in vertebrates. A rare disease of the rhombencephalon, 'rhombencephalosynapsis' is characterized by a missing vermis resulting in a fused cerebellum. Patients generally present with cerebellar ataxia.

Song for learning parts of the brain and their functions. LYRICS BELOW.

There's so much here packed into 3 minutes, that I recommend repeated viewings/listenings for anyone wanting to use this song as a memory/learning aid. The song is actually pretty catchy if you listen enough, although there's no exact repetition like most pop songs.

LYRICS: This is a song about parts of the brain I'm singing it to memorize the names The ideas here may be simplistic but matching meaning and rhyme is a tough logistic

The Cerebral Cortex has four main lobes With names from the nearby skull bones

Frontal does the thinking Occipital deals with vision Parietal senses objects and Temporal listens

The Brain: Structure and Function

In this video Paul Andersen explains the structures and functions of seventeen major parts of the brain. He begins with a quick discussion of brain evolution and ends with a review of the major parts presented inside the brainstem, cerebellum, thalamus, and cerebrum.
