What are the parts of your brain?
Your brain is divided into the hindbrain, midbrain (known together as the brainstem) and the forebrain. Your forebrain includes the cerebral cortex - the part that most people think of as the brain. It can also be divided into the left and right hemispheres, which are joined by a thick bundle of nerves.
