Practicum Sheep Brain Functions

Frontal Lobe

Decision making, planning, behavior regulation

Parietal Lobe

Somatosensation and spatial awareness

Occipital Lobe

Processing and perceiving light

Temporal Lobe

Processing and perceiving sound, memory, recognition

Pyriform Lobe

Processing smell

Cerebellum

Coordinating movement, maintaining balance, adaptive learning, and emotional and social behavior

Cerebellar Hemisphere

Coordinating fine movement, enable motor learning

Cerebellar Vermis

Regulates posture, locomotion, autonomic and affective responses

Superior Colliculus

Processes visual information

Inferior Colliculus

Process auditory information

Hypothalamus

Regulates homeostasis and behavior, and synthesizes hormones

Pons

Sends signals to cerebellum, mediates arousal

Medulla

Regulates breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure

Olfactory Bulb (I)

Processes smell

Optic Nerve (II)

Carries visual information

Oculomotor Nerve (III)

Eye movement

Trochlear Nerve (IV)

Rotational eye movement (__ goes circular)

Trigeminal Nerve (V)

Perceives information from your face, jaw movement (big meaty boys)

Abducens (VI)

Controls lateral eye movement (side to side)

Facial (VII)

Taste and facial expression

Vestibule-Cochlear Nerve (VIII)

Hearing and balance

Glossopharyngeal Nerve (IX)

taste and stuff involved with the pharynx (tongue,throat")

Vagus (X)

Tells the brain what your abdomen and chest are feeling

Spinal Accessory Nerve (XI)

Controls neck and shoulder muscles

Hypoglossal (XII)

Controls tongue musclesP

Pineal Gland

Produces melatonin

Thalamus

Relays sensory information to cerebrum

Corpus Callosum

Myelinated axons that share information between left and right hemispheres

Cerebral Aquaduct

Connects 3rd and 4th ventricles, filled with cerebrospinal fluid

Septum Pellucidum

Thin sliver that separates left and right lateral ventricles

Caudate Nucleus

Motor, cognitiive, emotions, learning center

Hippocampus

Makes memories, spatial navigation, and emotional regulation
