The Cerebrum at only ⅛ of its size but it's a very important part of the brain. It controls balance, movement and coordination. Your Cerebrum works well when your thinking hard.
Brain Stem
The brain stem is in charge of everything the brain stem sits beneath the Cerebrum and in front of the Cerebellum.
It connects to the rest of the brain to the spinal cord, which runs down your neck and back.
