thought, learning, memory, consciousness, the feeling of sensations such as pain or heat and the
initiation of muscle movement
2. What is are the main functions of the core of the brain?
It is a relay station between sensory inputs from the periphery of the body to the cerebral cortex; plays a
key role in autonomic functions and emotions as well.
3. What are the main functions of the cerebellum?
