Introduction:

The structure of the brain can be divided into three parts, namely the forebrain, the midbrain, and the hindbrain. The forebrain is made up of the cerebrum, the hypothalamus, and the pineal gland. The hindbrain contains the cerebellum, the medulla oblongata, and the pons. The cerebrum occupies the largest region of the brain and is divided into two cerebral hemispheres, which are connected to each other by the corpus callosum.
