The brainFor starters, the human brain is the most complex part of the human body. It has control over each organ thanks to a primary functional unit which is neurons. The outer part of the brain has specific functions for each organ in the human body. Therefore, the human brain is the most important organ of the human body. A person can be left-brained or right-brained depending on how they act. The cerebellum is the three-lobed structure of the brain. The cerebellum helps provide smooth, coordinated movements of the body. Examples could be balance, posture, coordination and voluntary movements. It also modifies motor commands to make movement more accurate and adaptive. The cerebellum is located at the back of the brain and contains 50% of the brain's total neurons. (Houghton, M. (2009)) Cerebrum is Latin for brain; the cerebrum is the largest part of the brain as a whole. There are fifty to one hundred thousand neurons in the brain. The brain is divided into two hemispheres. The right hemisphere controls imagination and 3D form. The left side controls posture, reasoning and numeracy skills. The two hemispheres have a bridge formed by bundles of fibers called the collusma body. (Boeree, CG (2003)) The frontal lobe is involved in motor skills, including cognitive and language functions. That is why the writer believes that the brain is the most important organ of the human body. The frontal lobe is located just behind the forehead, at the top of the human head. The frontal lobe may also be called the “cerebral cortex”. The cerebral cortex is the seat of emotions and judgment related to sympathy and empathy. Can understand humour, puns and recognizes sarcasm and irony. (Hartwig, K.L.
