The Human Brain Diagram is a versatile tool for psychoeducation. The diagram separates the brain into six major parts, and provides a brief description of the functions carried out by each section. Discussion of the brain, and how it works, can be a powerful way to explore many topics. Explaining the physical changes behind mental illness can help them feel less abstract, and more like something real that can be treated. We especially like to use this diagram as a visual aid for psychoeducation about how the brain changes during the fight-or-flight response, anger, and drug intoxication. This printout also looks great as a framed wall decoration in a therapy office.

Previous 1 of 8 Your brain contains billions of nerve cells arranged in patterns that coordinate thought, emotion, behavior, movement and sensation. A complicated highway system of nerves connects your brain to the rest of your body, so communication can occur in split seconds. Think about how fast you pull your hand back from a hot stove. While all the parts of your brain work together, each part is responsible for a specific function — controlling everything from your heart rate to your mood. • Brain basics: Know your brain.

Cerebrum The The two hemispheres are separated by a groove called the great longitudinal fissure. The corpus callosum connects the two hemispheres, thus allowing the brain to deliver messages from one side to the other. Each hemisphere of the cerebrum is divided into broad regions called lobes. Each lobe is associated with different functions: • Frontal lobes. The frontal lobes are the largest of the lobes. As indicated by their name, they’re located in the front part of the brain. They coordinates high-level behaviors, such as motor skills, problem-solving, judgment, planning, and attention. The frontal lobes also manage emotions, personality, and temper. • Parietal lobes. The parietal lobes are located behind the frontal lobes. They’re involved in organizing and interpreting sensory information from other parts of the brain. • Temporal lobes. The temporal lobes house the auditory cortex. They are located on either side of the head on the same level as the ears. They coordinate specific functions, including hearing, visual memory (such as facial recognition), verbal memory (such as understanding language), and interpreting the emotions and reactions of others. • Occipital lobes. The occipital lobes are located in the back of the brain. They’re heavily involved in the ability to read and recognize colors and shapes. Cerebellum The The cerebellum also helps the body maintain its posture, equilibrium, and balance. Diencephalon The diencephalon is located at the base of the b...

The Human Brain The brain is the centre of our thoughts and the central organ of the human nervous system. It is the most complex and important organ in the body, which is made up of more than 100 billion specialized nerves and functions by controlling all the metabolic functions of our body. The human brain is located in the head and enclosed within the skull, which provides frontal, lateral and dorsal protection. There are only a few creatures without having a brain. We cannot live without the brain, as it is mainly responsible for thoughts, interpretation and control for body movements. It also functions as the coordinating centre of intellectual, sensation and the nervous system. The diagram of the brain is useful for both Class 10 and 12. It is one among the few topics having the highest weightage of marks and is frequently asked in the examinations. A well-labelled diagram of a human brain is given below for further reference. Forebrain The forebrain is also called as Prosencephalon. The forebrain is the anterior part of the brain, which comprises the cerebral hemispheres, the thalamus, and the hypothalamus. It also consists of two subdivisions called the telencephalon and diencephalon. Along with the optic nerves and cranial nerves, the forebrain also includes the olfactory system, or sense of smell as well as the lateral and third cerebral ventricles. The cerebrum is the largest part, which occupies two-thirds of the brain’s volume and covers most other brai...

The brain is one of the most complex and magnificent organs in the human body. Our brain gives us awareness of ourselves and of our environment, processing a constant stream of sensory data. It controls our muscle movements, the secretions of our glands, and even our breathing and internal temperature. Every creative thought, feeling, and plan is developed by our brain. The brain’s neurons record the memory of every event in our lives. In fact, the human brain is so complicated that it remains an exciting frontier in the study of the body; doctors, psychologists, and scientists are continually endeavoring to learn exactly how the many structures of the brain work together intricately to create our powerful human mind. Anatomy of the Brain There are different ways of dividing the brain anatomically into regions. Let’s use a common method and divide the brain into three main regions based on embryonic development: the forebrain, midbrain and hindbrain. Under these divisions: • The forebrain (or prosencephalon) is made up of our incredible cerebrum, thalamus, hypothalamus and pineal gland among other features. Neuroanatomists call the cerebral area the telencephalon and use the term diencephalon (or interbrain) to refer to the area where our thalamus, hypothalamus and pineal gland reside. • The midbrain (or mesencephalon), located near the very center of the brain between the interbrain and the hindbrain, is composed of a portion of the brainstem. • The hindbrain (or rhombenc...
