Parietal lobes
touch
Primary somatosensory cortex
groups nearby sensations ("little man")
Temporal lobes
hearing/storing hearing information
Primary auditory cortex
the region of the superior temporal lobe whose primary input is from the auditory system
Frontal lobes
planning and movement
Primary motor cortex
controls muscle movement, split opposite sides like the parietal lobes
Cerebral cortex
outer folded layer of brain
Corpus callosum
massive bridge of white matter between two brain hemispheres
Occipital lobes
vision
Primary visual cortex
visual information is projected onto it to preserve spatial relationships
Prefrontal cortex
attention, developing/acting on plans, rational activity, social life
Insula cortex
part of cerebral cortex but deep inside, emotions/pain, empathy
Gustatory cortex
taste, disgust
Thalamus
gateway to cortex, Receives all sensory info, organizes it, and sends it (except for smell)
Hypothalamus
main regulatory structure (body temp, blood pressure/glucose levels, hunger, thirst, sexual desire), connected with endocrine system
Hippopotamus
Formation of new memories + remembering things
Amygdala
biologically relevant emotion
Basal Ganglia
planning and producing movement
Spinal cord
nervous tissue within the spinal cavity
Brain stem
extends spinal cord, controls functions like heart rate, breathing, swallowing, vomiting, etc
Cerebellum
back of brain stem, proper motor function like walking, also plans, remembering events, emotion, using language
Acetylcholine
motor control over muscles; learning, memory, sleeping, and dreaming
Norepinephrine
arousal, vigilance, attention
Serotonin
emotional states and impulsiveness, dreaming
Dopamine
reward and motivation, motor control over voluntary movement
GABA
inhibition of action potentials, anxiety reduction
Glutamate
enhancement of action potentials, learning and memory
Endorphins
pain reduction, reward
Epinephrine
adrenaline
