    The five major divisions of the brain are the Telencephalon (cerebral hemispheres)‚ the Diencephalon‚ the Mesencephalon (midbrain)‚ the Metencephalon‚ and the Myelencephalon (medulla). The Telencephalon is the largest portion of the brain. This portion of the brain is in charge of voluntary movements‚ sensory input‚ and complex cognitive process (learning‚ speaking‚ and problem solving skills). The Diencephalon is composed of two structures‚ the thalamus and the hypothalamus. The thalamus holds
