$1$. Forebrain: It is the main thinking part of the brain. It controls voluntary actions,stores information (memory),and processes sensory information like sight,smell,and hearing.
$2$. Midbrain: It connects the forebrain to the hindbrain and controls reflex movements of the head,neck,and eyes in response to visual and auditory stimuli.
$3$. Hindbrain: It consists of the cerebellum,pons,and medulla. The cerebellum controls posture,balance,and precision of voluntary movements. The medulla controls involuntary actions like blood pressure,salivation,and vomiting.
