    The brainstem and the midbrain.

    It makes sense, because you really need those from breathing and circulation. Breathing and circulation are kind of an important part of the whole ‘being alive’ thing. 🙂

    The first thing is something called the neural tube in the embryo. From this, the brain and spinal cord develop. Embryology is super, super cool.
    Your brain is always changing and it doesn’t even stop growing until you are about 25 years old!
