Summary Introduction
Introduction: Human brain is a soft and delicate structure that is well protected under a bony skull known as the cranium. Inside the cranium, the brain is protected with a covering called cranial meninges. The human brain can be divided into three parts for ease of study that is Forebrain, Midbrain, and Hindbrain.
