Short Answer: The frontal cortex.
The right and left cerebral hemispheres make up the main part of the brain, called the cerebrum, at the top, front, sides, and part of the back of the brain, and accounts for the majority of the brain's volume.The thin outer layer of the cerebrum is called the cerebral cortex, and is where cognition and long-term memory occur.
The biggest part of the sheep's brain is the Cerebrum.
The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain (it makes up 85% of the brain's weight) and it is the thinking part of the brain and contains your short and long term memories.

the brain is in the skull to protect it, and the brain is part of the nervous system.
They describe the physical brain as the computer's hardware, and cognition as its software.
Yes, it affects it by the decrease of blood flow to the brain. The part of the brain most affected is the part that controls memory, learning, and concentration. It can also be a predictor of vascular dementia.
The Thalamus is a structure in the brain responsible for several of the necessary functions of cognition. It is not considered part of the endocrine system and as such does not produce hormones.

Emotions are a complex interplay involving various brain regions, including the amygdala, hippocampus, prefrontal cortex, and insular cortex. The amygdala plays a crucial role in processing emotions such as fear and pleasure, while the prefrontal cortex helps regulate and control emotional responses. Different emotions may involve different brain regions and neural pathways.
When you are happy the brain releases chemical such as serotonin.

No. While there may be some effects on cognition there is no physical harm to your brain. If your brain actually "turned to mush" you would die.

Without the actual definitions in front of me I would say that cognition is the ability to understand something and psychology is the study of the way the brain reacts to stimulus. So the difference would be cognition is an ability to learn, while psychology is an attempt for someone else to explain how someone thinks.
Embodied cognition is a theory that suggests our cognitive processes are heavily influenced by our body and its interactions with the environment. It emphasizes the role of sensorimotor experiences in shaping our thoughts, perceptions, and emotions. This perspective challenges the traditional view that cognition is confined to the brain and highlights the importance of the body in understanding how we think and behave.
