Brain Basics

The Human Brain

Our brains are our bodies command centre for the nervous system. The brain is like a control centre sending and receiving messages from our 5 senses. It is divided into four main lobes: the frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital. Each lobe is responsible for important functions that we rely on every day!
