Biology

Forebrain

contains the cerebrum, thalamus, hypothalamus and hippocampus

Cerebrum

center of intelligence and thinking; associated with higher brain functions such as thought and action

Frontal Lobe

associated with reasoning, planning, parts of speech, movement, emotions, and problem solving

Patrietal Lobe

associated with movement, orientation and the recognition and perception of stimuli

Occipital Lobe

associated with visual processing

Temporal Lobe

associated with perception and recognition of auditory stimuli, memory and speech

Thalamus

relays motor and sensory signal to the cerebrum

Hypothalamus

sleep wake cycle - emotions

Amygdala

controls emotions such as fear and aggression

Hippocampus

holds memory storage and retrieval

Midbrain

connects the forebrain and hindbrain

Hindbrain

holds the cerebellum, pons and medulla oblongata

Cerebellum

for coordination, movement, posture and balance

Pons

Involves motor control and sensory analysis

Medulla Oblongata

controls autonomic functions
