Brain Functions

Key Functions

  • Longitudinal Fissure: Separates left and right cerebral hemispheres.

  • Frontal Lobe: Responsible for movement planning, behavior, and personality.

  • Motor Areas:

    • Precentral Gyrus: Primary motor cortex.

    • Postcentral Gyrus: Primary somatosensory cortex.

  • Occipital Lobe: Processes visual information.

  • Cerebellum: Coordinates movement.

  • Pons: Regulates reflexes, sleep, and arousal.

  • Thalamus: Relay station for sensory and motor signals.

  • Hypothalamus: Regulates autonomic functions and homeostasis.

  • Corpus Callosum: Connects left and right hemispheres.

  • Medulla Oblongata: Controls basic autonomic functions.
