The Brain / Psy 240 / Week Two The human brain is one of the most complex and fascinating parts of the body. The major regions of the brain are separated into three layers called the central core‚ the limbic system‚ and the cerebral hemispheres or otherwise called the forebrain‚ midbrain‚ and hindbrain. The forebrain houses the cerebrum‚ thalamus‚ and hypothalamus. The midbrain houses tectum and tegmentum. The hindbrain houses the cerebellum‚ pons‚ and medulla. From here the brain is divided
