The 7 main functions of the brain are sensory processing, cognition, motor control, regulation of bodily functions, language and memory.
The brain is a complex organ in the body that controls hunger, breathing, temperature, vision, motor skills, touch, memory, thought and every other process that regulates and controls out body.
How our brain works is through receiving sensory information, processing the sensory information, initiating motor responses, sending motor information and sending the motor information to the body.
The first step in how the brain works is the brain receives sensory information from your body through your spinal cord.
The next step in how the brain works is the brain then processes that sensory information.
The 3rd step in how the brain works is the brain then initiates the motor responses which are appropriate to the sensory information.
The 4th step in how the brain works is the brain then sends the motor information to your spinal cord.
And the 5th step in how the brain works is the spinal cord sends the motor information to your body through your peripheral nervous system.
The parts of the brain are the occipital lobes, the temporal lobes, the frontal lobes, the parietal lobes, the limbic system, the brain stem, the hypothalamus, the pituitary gland and the pineal gland.
The brains occipital lobes process visual information from your eyes.
The temporal lobes process information about hearing, language and your memory.
The frontal lobes plan actions.
The parietal lobes coordinate actions.
The limbic system processes memory and emotions.
The brain stem is what controls involuntary muscles and also life sustaining functions of the body such as digestion and breathing.
The hypothalamus is what wakes you up and releases adrenaline in the body.
The pineal gland is what helps to control sleep and circadian rhythms.
And the pituitary gland helps control the body's growth, body temperature, childbirth and pregnancy.
