In this activity you will take a tour of the human brain and explore the major brain regions to discover the functions of each region or area. Functional Specialization • In terms of brain function‚ what is functional specialization? Hearing a sound or moving our thumb is controlled by a cluster of neurons. This gives us the capability of the nervous system. A neural network is the cluster of neurons. • Why is the principle of complex communication important to understand? Each neural

HUMAN BRAIN The brain is one of the largest and most complex organs in the human body. It is made up of more than 100 billion nerves that communicate in trillions of connections called synapses. The human brain is the command centre for the human nervous system. It receives input from the sensory organs and sends output to the muscles. Parts of the Human Brain Ventricles are the 4 cavities in the brain. • The ventricles of the brain are a communicating network of cavities filled with cerebrospinal
