The human brain is the most important organ in the nervous system. Located inside the head‚ surrounded by the skull. The human brain is very identical to the brains of other mammals‚ but with a more developed and evolved cerebral cortex. Much of the size of the human brain comes from the cerebral cortex‚ especially the frontal lobes‚ which are associated with executive functions such as self-control‚ planning‚ reasoning‚ and abstract thought. Before talking about the lobes. The most important part

The five major structures of the brain are myelencephalon‚ Metencephalon‚ mesencephalon‚ diencephalon and telencephalon. The myelencephalon carries signals from the brain to the entire parts of the human body and it is also uniquely shaped looking like a little net. The Metencephalon is made up of ascending and descending tracts just like the myelencephalon. It has two major divisions which are pons and the cerebellum. The mesencephalon has two divisions also and they are the tectum and the tegmentum

The neurons and glial cells that create the brain’s structure also provide necessary functions that enable perception‚ the ability to learn‚ retain memories‚ capacity to think‚ and much more (Ciccarelli‚ 2015). The different lobes of the brain are key players in how the brain operates as well. For example‚ damage to the frontal lobe of the brain can cause an individual to develop different impulses and as well impulsive behavior (Schwartz‚ 2012). There

Brain Response of Behavior To explain the communication process of neurons in the brain we must first understand the how a neuron works. In view of the fact that neurons form a network of electrical activities‚ they somehow have to be interconnected. When a nerve indicator‚ or impulse‚ reaches the ends of its axon‚ it has traveled as an action potential‚ or a pulse of electricity. However‚ there is no cellular continuity between one neuron and the next; there is a breach called synapse. The membranes
