The Triangle of the Brain

Cerebrum, Cerebellum, and Brainstem


Glowing green triangle labeled "Cerebrum," "Cerebellum," "Brainstem" on black. Text: "The Triangle of the Brain" and "ThinkinginTriangles.com".

The triangle of Cerebrum, Cerebellum, and Brainstem represents the three primary regions of the brain, each essential for controlling the body’s functions, processing information, and maintaining life. Together, they form the foundation of human cognition, movement, and survival.


  1. Cerebrum: The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain, responsible for higher cognitive functions such as thought, memory, reasoning, emotion, and sensory processing. It is divided into two hemispheres, each controlling opposite sides of the body, and governs voluntary actions and decision-making.

  2. Cerebellum: The cerebellum, located at the base of the brain, manages coordination, balance, and fine motor skills. It ensures smooth, precise movements and helps the body adapt to physical changes in the environment.

  3. Brainstem: The brainstem connects the brain to the spinal cord and regulates vital functions such as breathing, heart rate, and sleep. It acts as a communication hub for neural signals.


Balancing cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem ensures the brain functions cohesively to support life and complex behaviors.
