The brain is a complex organ, which is segregated into forebrain, hindbrain, and midbrain. All of these are temporal, parietal, frontal, and occipital lobe. Another set of parts are the cerebral cortex, cerebellum, thalamus, hypothalamus, pineal gland, pituitary gland, hippocampus, amygdala, and the midbrain.
