Reticular formation (Hindbrain)
Controls sleep and consciousness.
Cerebellum (Hindbrain)
Controls complex motor coordination like balance and talking.
Hypothalamus (Forebrain)
Is involved with hunger, thirst, temperature, hormones, and pleasure.
Cerebral cortex (Higher level processing)
Processes complex material like language, problem solving, personality, recognition, and logic.
Frontal lobe
The lobe at the front of the brain associated with movement, speech, and problem solving.
Medulla/pons (Hindbrain)
Controls blood pressure, breathing, and swallowing.
Superior Colliculus (Midbrain)
Receives visual information.
Inferior Colliculus (Midbrain)
Receives auditory information.
Limbic system (Forebrain)
Controls emotional behaviour.
Amygdala
Controls feeling of fear, aggression, and joy.
Hippocampus
Involved with memory functioning.
Olfactory bulb
Controls the processing of smell.
Brain Hemispheres
Two halves of the brain, further divided into four lobes.
Corpus Callosum
Communication bridge between the halves of the brain.
Temporal lobe
The lobe at the temples that processes auditory information and language.
Parietal lobe
Receives information of body awareness, sense of touch, and attention.
Occipital lobe
Processes visual information into mental images, coordinates with parietal and temporal lobe for object recognition.
Contralaterally
One side of the brain communicates with the opposite side of the body.
Hormones
Chemical substances that carry messages through the body in blood.
Endocrine System
Hormones in the blood stream that act like Neurotransmitters.
Pituitary Gland
Part of the endocrine system, produces testosterone.

Produces adrenaline.
Adrenaline
Hormone in charge of fight or flight responses.
Pineal Gland

Hereditary Genes
Genetic code from our parents.
Mutations
Genetic code from random genetic changes.
Reproductive Fitness
Certain brain changes result in behaviours that allow us to live longer and have more offspring.
Chromosomes
Hold genetic information.
Phenotypes
Observable genetic traits.
