Parts of Your Brain, and What They Do!

How Your Brain Works

The brain is the control center of the body. It controls thoughts, memory, speech and movement. It controls how many of your organs work. When the brain is healthy, it works quickly and automatically.

The brain is the most complex part of the human body. All the parts of the brain work together, but each part has its own special duties.
