• Midbrain = Motherboard

  • All the important information passes through there

• Bovine Brain Flashcards

• Cerebrum 

  • largest part of brain 

  • helps with movement

  • regulates temperature

• Cerebellum 

  • • works with cerebrum to regulate voluntary actions

• Brainstem

  • • Medulla
