Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The human brain is the command center for the human nervous system it receives input from the sensory organs and sends output to the muscles. Human brain has three main parts: The forebrain, midbrain, and hind brain. All these parts of brains are made up of different structures which are responsible for different functions.
