HUMAN BRAIN The human brain is the center of the human nervous system. All the functions and the decisions of human being have been decided by the brain. The adult human brain weighs on average about 3 lb (1.5 kg) with a size (volume) of around 1130 cubic centimeters (cm3) in women and 1260 cm3 in men‚ although there is substantial individual variation.

Localisation is a theory that different parts of the brain are responsible for certain behaviours or functions. The hippocampus is located in the medial temporal lobe of the brain‚ and is associated with memory and spatial navigation.
