The forebrain is the main thinking part of the brain. It has regions which receive sensory impulses from various receptors. Separate areas of the forebrain are specialised for hearing, smell, sight and so on. Involuntary actions like salivation, vomiting, blood pressure are controlled by the medulla in the hindbrain.The cerebellum controls posture and balance of the body (responsible for skilled memory).
