Peripheral Nervous System
Composed of all of the body’s nerves
Central Nervous System
Composed of the brain and spinal cord
Cerebrum
4 lobes of the brain (front, temporal, parietal, occipital)
Frontal Lobe
Involved in motor function, problem solving, memory, language, judgement, impulse control, and social behavior
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
Parietal Lobe
Processes sensory info that has to do with taste, temp, touch
Involved with sensory info: math, spelling, manipulation of objects
Occipital Lobe
Responsible for sight
Assigns meaning to and remembers visual perceptions
Cerebellum
Means the “Little Brain” in Latin
Helps coordinate voluntary movement and balance
Nonverbal learning/memory
Brain Stem
Responsible for automatic survival functions
Controls heartbeat & breathing
Hippocampus
Memory processing
Amygdala
Fight or flight, fear, stress
Pituitary Gland
Secretes hormones into the blood, especially during puberty
Hypothalamus
Regulates hunger, thirst, body temperature, pleasure
Limbic System
The emotional brain
Midbrain, Pons, Medulla Oblongata
Parts of the brain stem
Corpus Callosum
Large bundle of tissue that connects the 2 hemispheres
Pathway of information from one side to the other

Midbrain
Part of the brain stem that is involved in motor movement, particularly movements of the eye, and in auditory and visual processing
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
Medulla Oblongata
Part of the brain stem that is in charge of breathing and heartbeat
Memory
Our ability to encode, store, retain and subsequently recall information and past experiences; this is a BRAIN WIDE PROCESS!
