Cerebrum

Location: composed of right and left hemispheres of forebrain

Function: responsible for higher brain functions such as thought, action, and sensory processing.

Cerebellum

Location: Between brainstem and back of the cerebrum with two lateral lobes w/ a median lobe.

Function: coordinates voluntary movements, balance, and posture, playing a crucial role in motor control and learning.

Brain Stem

Located: at the base of the brain, it connects the cerebrum to the spinal cord and is responsible for regulating vital functions such as heart rate, breathing, and blood pressure. Is also composed of the midbrain, pons, and the medulla.

Pons

A part of your brainstem, a structure that links your brain to your spinal cord. It handles unconscious processes and jobs, such as your sleep-wake cycle and breathing. It also contains several junction points for nerves that control muscles and carry information from senses in your head and face.

Medulla Oblongata

the connection between the brainstem and the spinal cord, carrying multiple important functional centers. (bottom-most part of brain)

Parietal Lobe

Your parietal lobe is a processing center for sensations you can feel with your sense of touch. These include temperature (hot and cold), pressure, vibration and pain.

Self-perception also uses your sense of touch to tell you where parts of your body are without needing to see them. e. Your parietal lobe takes information, and integrates it into a form you can understand. It then sends information to other areas of your brain so you can respond to what you sense. (Location awareness too)

Occipital Lobe

The occipital lobe is located at the back of the brain, and is responsible for processing visual information from the eyes

Frontal Lobe

The frontal lobes are important for voluntary movement, expressive language and for managing higher level executive functions. Executive functions refer to a collection of cognitive skills including the capacity to plan, organise, initiate, self-monitor and control one's responses in order to achieve a goal.

Temporal Lobe

The temporal lobes are also believed to play an important role in processing affect/emotions, language, and certain aspects of visual perception + short term memory.

Motor Cortex

The motor cortex is the region of the cerebral cortex involved in the planning, control, and execution of voluntary movements. The motor cortex is an area of the frontal lobe located in the posterior precentral gyrus immediately anterior to the central sulcus.

Sensory Cortex

a part of the brain located in the anterior part of the. Besides from our skin, it also receives information from our joints, muscles, and tendons.

Corpus Callosum

Allows communication between the two hemispheres of the brain. It is responsible for transmitting neural messages between both the right and left hemispheres.

Pituitary gland

The pituitary gland secretes the growth hormone, cortisol, the luteinising and follicle stimulating hormone, prolactin and the thyroid stimulating hormone.

Thalamus

The thalamus relays impulses to cerebral cortex sensory areas and produces the emotions of pleasantness or unpleasantness associated with sensations.

Hypothalamus

The hypothalamus is a small area in the center of the brain. It helps produce hormones that regulate heart rate, body temperature, hunger, and the sleep-wake cycle.

Hippocampus

Your hippocampus is a small part of your brain with a big job; it helps with your learning and memory. It converts short-term memories into long-term memories by organizing, storing and retrieving memories within your brain.

Broca’s Area

Broca's area, located in the left hemisphere, is associated with speech production and articulation. Our ability to articulate ideas, as well as use words accurately in spoken and written language, has been attributed to this crucial area.
