🧠 Fact Sheet 1: CEREBRUM

• Thinking and problem solving

• Memory storage and recall

• Language and speech

• Voluntary movements (like walking, writing)

• Processing what you see, hear, smell, taste and touch

When you decide to pick up a pen, your cerebrum sends the message to your hand muscles. It's like the boss giving orders to your body!

The cerebrum processes information from your senses and decides how to respond - like pulling your hand away from something hot.

🧠 Fact Sheet 2: CEREBELLUM

• Balance and coordination

• Smooth movements and motor control

• Helping you learn new skills (like riding a bike)

• Posture control

Your cerebellum is why you can walk without falling over! It constantly adjusts your muscles to keep you balanced - even when you're not thinking about it.

The cerebellum helps coordinate quick, smooth responses like catching a ball or stepping over an obstacle.

🧠 Fact Sheet 3: BRAINSTEM

• Controls breathing automatically

• Controls heart rate and blood pressure

• Sleep and wake cycles

• Swallowing and digestion control

• Basic survival functions

Your brainstem works 24/7 without you thinking about it! It's like your body's autopilot - keeping you alive while you sleep.

The brainstem controls automatic responses like breathing faster when you exercise or your heart beating quicker when scared.

🧠 Fact Sheet 4: LIMBIC SYSTEM

• Processing emotions (happy, sad, angry, scared)

• Forming memories, especially emotional ones

• Fight or flight responses

• Motivation and reward feelings

The limbic system is why you remember your birthday party better than a regular Tuesday - emotions help create stronger memories!

The limbic system triggers emotional responses to stimuli, like feeling scared of a loud noise or happy when seeing a friend.
