Structures and functions of the brain

Forebrain

The largest and most complex part of the brain involved in complex functions like reasoning, emotion, and sensory processing

Mid brain

Central brain region controlling, aro, motor control, and dopamine production

Hind brain

The base of the brain managing vital automatic functions like breathing, balance, and coordination

Cerebral Cortex

The wrinkled outer layer of the cerebrum, responsible for consciousness, reasoning, and language

Thalamus

Brain sensory relay station it detects sensory information except for smell to the correct areas

Hypothalamus

Regulates homeostasis and links the nervous system to the endocrine system

Pituitary gland

The master endocrine gland, it controls the release of hormones from many other endocrine glands

Limbic system

A set of structures, including a magnolia and hippocampus that governs in emotion and memory

amygdala

Limbic structure, that processes, fear, and emotion reaction

Hippocampus

Olympics structure for learning and forming new long-term memories

Frontal lobe

Low responsible for executive functions, motor control, and speech production

parietal lobe

lobe processing Somatosensation information such as touch temperature pain

Temporal lobe

Lobe processing hearing memory and language comprehension

Occipital lobe

Lobe dedicated primarily to Visual processing

Medulla

Hindbrain structure, controlling vital Automatic functions like heartbeat and breathing

Cerebellum

Hiring structure, managing balance, coordination, and fine mortar skills

Substantial Niagara

Mid brain structure that produces dopamine degeneration is linked to Parkinson’s disease

Ventral tegmental area

Midbrain structure involved in reward and addiction through dopamine release

Endocrine system

A chemical mutation system that uses hormones released by glands to complement neural activity
