Describe the structure of the mammalian brain.

Consider the human brain as the main representative of mammals. Our brains are very similar to those of other mammals, but there are many differences in shape and structure. We have two cerebral hemispheres. Also, we have the diencephalon, midbrain, pons, medulla oblongata and cerebellum. The medulla oblongata connects the brain to the spinal cord. All parts are very important, but some are vital, as they regulate the basic functions of the body, and some can be removed without harm to human health and consciousness.
