Medulla
1
Medulla
controls heartbeat and controls sleep
Thalamus
2
Thalamus
Sensory control center, directs messages to the sensory receiving areas in the cortex and transmits replies to the cerebellum and medulla
Limbic System
Hippocampus, Amygdala, Hypothalamus
process and regulate emotion and memory while also dealing with sexual stimulation and learning
Limbic system
22 - Hippocampus
14 - Amygdala
4 - hypothalamus
Hypothalamus
4
Hypothalamus
Directs maintenance activities (ex, eating, drinking, body temp, heart rate)
helps govern the endocrine system
Motor Cortex
5
Motor Cortex
Controls voluntary movements
Auditory Cortex
6
Auditory Cortex
Process auditory information (ex. elementary speech sounds and music)
Frontal Lobe
7
Frontal Lobe
involved in speaking, muscle movements and in making plans and judgments
Occipital Lobe
8
Occipital Lobe
receives information from the visual fields and assists in memory formation
Broca’s Area
9
Broca’s Area
Controls language expression, directs the muscle movements involved in speech
Corpus Callosum
10
Corpus Callosum
Connects the left and right hemispheres of the brain so they can communicate
Pituitary Gland
11
Pituitary Gland
Regulates growth and controls other endocrine glands
Reticular Formation
12
Reticular Formation
plays an important role in controlling arousal and pain sensation, alertness, fatigue, sleep and motivation
filters incoming stimuli and relays important information to other brain areas
Cerebellum
13
Cerebellum
processes sensory input, coordinates movement output and balance, and enables nonverbal learning and memory
Amygdala
14
Amygdala
processing center for emotions
Cerebral Cortex
7 - Frontal Lobe
19 - Temporal Lobe
18 - Parietal Lobe
8 - Occipital Lobe
Cerebral Cortex
memory, thinking, learning, reasoning, problem-solving, emotions, consciousness, and functions related to senses
Sensory Cortex
16
Sensory Cortex
Registers and processes sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch sensations
Visual Cortex
17
Visual Cortex
receives, segments, and integrates visual information
Parietal Lobe
18
Parietal Lobe
sensory perception and integration for sight, smell, sound, taste and touch perceptions
Temporal Lobe
19
Temporal Lobe
processing auditory information, accesses memories, uses language and processes emotions
Wernicke’s Area
20
Wernicke’s Area
controls language reception, comprehension and expression
Pons
21
Pons
handles unconscious processes (Ex. sleep wake cycle, breathing)
Hippocampus
22
Hippocampus
helps process explicit memories for storage
involved in memory, learning and emotions
