Brain Regions Beyond the Brainstem: Cerebrum, Cerebellum & More
The parts of the brain that are not part of the stem are:
- The cerebrum, which is the largest part of the brain and responsible for higher cognitive functions such as thought, language, and reasoning.
- The cerebellum, which is located behind the cerebrum and responsible for coordinating movement and balance.
- The diencephalon, which is located between the cerebrum and the brainstem and includes the thalamus, hypothalamus, and pituitary gland.
- The limbic system, which is a complex network of brain regions that is involved in emotions, memory, and motivation.
