Stanford researchers say human brain is actually two separate organs

Stanford researchers say human brain is actually two separate organs

One part, the hindbrain, handles basic functions like breathing, while the midbrain and forebrain manage higher-level thinking and speech. The discovery could help researchers study and treat neurological conditions such as SMA and ALS.
