How does regenerative braking work in electric vehicles?

I'm trying to understand the principle behind regenerative braking in electric drivetrains. Specifically, how does the motor act as a generator during deceleration, and what role does the controller play in managing the energy flow back to the battery? Any diagrams or simplified explanations would help. What are the typical efficiency losses and how do they vary with speed?
