Major Brain Structures and Their Functions

.












.

In this video, I’ll provide an overview of some important brain structures, explaining where they’re located and what their general functions are. I'll cover a long list of structures including: cerebral cortex, lobes of the brain, prefrontal cortex, Broca's area, Wernicke's area, brainstem, thalamus, pineal gland, hypothalamus, pituitary gland, hippocampus, amygdala, corpus callosum, ventricles, and more. This is meant to be an introductory overview, so I’ll only be giving an abridged explanation of what each of these structures do, but you can find individual videos devoted to each of these brain regions on my channel if you want to go a little deeper.
