New cards
Central Nervous System
Composed of the brain and spinal cord
3
New cards
Cerebrum
4 lobes of the brain (front, temporal, parietal, occipital)
4
New cards
Frontal Lobe
Involved in motor function, problem solving, memory, language, judgement, impulse control, and social behavior
5
New cards
Temporal Lobe
Involved in processing memories, integrating them with sensations of taste, sound, sight and touch and remembering faces

Receives sensory info such as sounds and comprehending meaningful speech
6
New cards
Parietal Lobe
Processes sensory info that has to do with taste, temp, touch

Involved with sensory info: math, spelling, manipulation of objects
7
New cards
Occipital Lobe
Responsible for sight

Assigns meaning to and remembers visual perceptions
8
New cards
Cerebellum
Means the “Little Brain” in Latin 

Helps coordinate voluntary movement and balance

Nonverbal learning/memory

New cards
Midbrain
Part of the brain stem that is involved in motor movement, particularly movements of the eye, and in auditory and visual processing
33
New cards
Pons
Part of the brain stem that is involved in the control of intensity of breathing and sleep cycles; communication between different parts of the brain; sensations such as hearing, taste, and balance
34
New cards
Medulla Oblongata
Part of the brain stem that is in charge of breathing and heartbeat
35
New cards
Memory
Our ability to encode, store, retain and subsequently recall information and past experiences; this is a BRAIN WIDE PROCESS!
