For a brain to perform all the functions that it must do, it must: 1. Detect and locate the great variety of stimulus types, sources, and happenings in the environment. 2. Make sense of all these sensory events. 3. Respond to all these features by expressing an elaborate behavioral repertoire. 4. Make judgments, learn, and think about all these things.

The many nuclei, circuits, systems and networks which make up the brain provide numerous functional repertoires. Complex sets of circuits allow it to detect and evaluate the relevance of myriad physical energies in the environment and to plan and execute appropriate reactions to them.
