precentral gyrus

postcentral gyrus

temporal lobe

- below frontal and parietal lobe

- perception, face/ object recognition, memory aquisition, emotional reactions

- if damaged - inability to recognize specific categories, long/ short term memory loss, aggression

thalamus

- above amygdala and hippocampus, in temporal lobe

- receives sensory cortex and sends them to appropriate areas of forebrain

- if damaged - loss of alertness, amnesia, aphasia, sleepiness, impaired movements and posture

medulla oblongata

pituitary gland

cerebellum

frontal lobe

hypothalamus

- above brainstem, next to thalamus

- hunger thirst, body temperature, sleep

- if damaged - hypothermia, excessive sleep, weight gain/ loss

occipital lobe

parietal lobe
