prefrontal cortex
(not frontal lobe)
primary motor
motor control
premotor
learned motor skills, working memory spatial tasks
broca’s area
motor speech area
fronal lobe
executive area for task management, solving complex problems, multitasking

spinal cord
cerebellum
limbic system
what system is this?
hypothalamus
green
pituitary gland
yellow
pineal gland
amygdala
hippocampus
basal ganglia
gyri
surface folds of brain, increases surface area
sulci
dips of folds in brain, increases surface area
parietal lobe
processes sensory info from environment, mainly relating to touch, taste, and temperature.
temporal lobe
processes auditory information and encodes memory
occipital lobe
visual perception
brain stem
regulating most of the body’s automatic functions (breathing, heartbeat)
midbrain
vision, hearing, motor control, sleep/wake, alertness, and temperature regulation
pons
handles unconscious processes, sleep/wake cycle adn breathing.
medulla oblongata
helps with heartbeat, breathing, and blood pressure
spinal cord
sends motor commands from the brain to the body, sends sensory information from the body to the brain, coordinates reflexes
cerebellum
controls balance and movement
limbic structure
feeding, reproduction, maternal/paternal needs, fight/flight responses
hypothalamus
thermoregulation, regulation of food intake, regulation of body water content, center for autonomic nervous system, endocrine control, reproduction, circadian rhythm
pituitary gland
regulates growth, metabolism, and reproduction through the hormones it produces
pineal gland
receives information about the state of the light/dark cycle from the environment and conveys the info through the production of melatonin (hormone)
thalamus
body’s information relay system.
amygdala
fear/reward center
hippocampus
learning, memory encoding, memory consolidation, and spatial navigation. big for memory.
basal ganglia
motor control, motor learning, executive functions and behaviors, and emotions. controls body’s ability to move.
afferent divison
sensory stimuli and visceral stimuli go to which divison?
visceral stimuli
organ filling, bloating and distension, nausea. ex: hunger, fullness in rectum and bladder.
brain and spinal cord
parts of central nervous system
peripheral nervous system
the two divisions of this system are the afferent division and efferent division
efferent division
which division does information from the CNS go to?
somatic nervous system
this system is in control of motor neurons and skeletal muscles
autonomic nervous system
this system divides into two more systems: sympathetic and parasympathetic. part of PNS.
parasympathetic nervous system
this system conserves energy. “rest and digest” responses
sympathetic divison
mobilizes body systems. “fight or flight” responses
white matter
internal matter
basal nuclei
deep within white matter
