The brain gives all of us a very special personal computer
The human brain has been called the world's most complex computer. It's abilities come from a complex circuitry of billions of neurons. There are three main parts to the brain: the "brain stem", which connects the brain to the spinal cord and controls breathing and heartbeat; the "cerebellum", which coordinates balance and movement; and the "cerebrum", which is responsible for all conscious experience, like thought and feelings. The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain.
