Which of the following are the different parts of a human brain?

The human brain is anatomically and developmentally divided into three primary regions: the forebrain, the midbrain, and the hindbrain [3]. The forebrain (prosencephalon) is the largest part and serves as the main thinking center, responsible for processing sensory information, language, and complex reasoning [1]. The midbrain (mesencephalon) acts as a relay station for sensory and motor information between the forebrain and hindbrain, while also controlling certain reflex actions and eye movements [1]. The hindbrain (rhombencephalon) includes structures like the cerebellum, pons, and medulla, which regulate vital involuntary functions such as heart rate, respiration, and blood pressure, as well as maintaining posture and balance [2]. These three divisions originate from the primary brain vesicles during embryonic development and differentiate into the complex structures found in the adult central nervous system [3].
