Cerebrum, the cerebrum is the thinking part of the brain and it controls your voluntary muscles. The cerebrum has two halves, with one on either side of the head. Scientists think that the right half helps you think about abstract things like music, colors, and shapes. The left half is said to be more analytical, helping you with math, logic, and speech. Your memory lives in the cerebrum — both short-term memory and long-term memory. The cerebrum also helps you reason. Cerebellum, the cerebellum is at the back of the brain, below the cerebrum. It controls balance, movement, and coordination. Because of your cerebellum, you can stand upright, keep your balance, and move around. Brain stem, The brain stem sits beneath the cerebrum and in front of the cerebellum. It connects the rest of the brain to the spinal cord, which runs down your neck and back. The brain stem is in charge of all the functions your body needs to stay alive, like breathing air, digesting food, and circulating blood. Part of the brain stem's job is to control your involuntary muscles. the pituitary gland, Its job is to produce and release hormones into your body. This gland is a big player in puberty too. This little gland also plays a role with lots of other hormones, like ones that control the amount of sugars and water in your body. It is located at the base of the brain. Hypothalamus, the hypothalamus knows what temperature your body should be. If your body is too hot, the hypothalamus tells it to sweat. If you're too cold, the hypothalamus gets you shivering. Both shivering and sweating are attempts to get your body's temperature back where it needs to be. It is located on the undersurface of the brain.
