15. Temporal lobe: • Emotion and memory circuits
• Hearing, learning, memory circuits, sexual identity, and processing of auditory stimuli
• Gives emotional tone to memories
• Is involved in making moral judgments
16. Occipital lobe: • Vision
• Visual memory
• Reading
• language formation
• reception of vestibular, acoustic, and tactile stimuli
17. Cerebrum: • Functions as an auxiliary structure for the entire cerebral cortex
• Posture and balance in walking
• Sequential movements required in eating and writing
• Control speed and acceleration of movement
• Involved in smooth eye movement
• Cognition and language
• Memory and impulse control
18. Brainstem (Medulla oblongata, pons, and midbrain): • Medulla oblongata- regulation of
blood pressure, respiration, and digestion. Reflex center for vomiting coughing, sneezing, swallowing, and hiccupping.
• Pons- Relays information from the cerebral hemisphere to the cerebellum
• Midbrain- control many sensory and motor functions including eye movement
19. Locus ceruleus: • Produces norepinephrine
• Activity maintains arousal
• Inactivity allows sleep
20. Dorsal raphe: • Produces serotonin
• Control sleep wake cycle
21. Reticular activating system (RAS): • Involved in arousal and sleep- the "toggle switch"
• Switches the cerebral cortex on when individual is relaxed
• Switches limbic system on when there is a threat
• Regulates thalamus and cortex activities that are involved in emotions
• Involved in processing pain and in regulation of heartrate, breathing, perspiration, swallowing, coughing, salivation,
urination, and sexual arousal

22. Hypothalamus: • Bridges internal homeostasis and outside environment
• Involved with raw emotions of pleasure, reward, aversion, and rage
• Regulates the autonomic nervous system and secretion of pituitary hormones
• Involved in hunger, thirst, water balance, regulation of temperature, circadian rhythms, and stress response
23. Thalamus: • Gaits information to the neocortex
• Processes information coming from the 5 senses and information coming from the amygdala and cerebellum before
it goes to the neocortex
• Involved in wakefulness, sleep, and pain perception
24. Amygdala: • Anxiety and anger
• Generates rudimentary emotions such as fear, rage, religious ecstasy, and sexual desire
• Surveys the environment
• Regulates fear and response to stress
• Evaluates expression of friendliness, fear, love, affection, distrust, and anger
• Contributes to emotional memories, especially fear
• Seeks attachment indiscriminately
25. Insula: • Involved in negative emotions: disgust, pain, hunger, empathy, and callousness
26. Cingulate cortex: • Links emotions to actions and predicts the consequences of actions.
• Involved in experiencing intense love, anger, or lost.
• Activated when mother here's her infant cry.
• Involved into detecting how others feel and reaching to others emotions.
• Registers social rejection.
• Adjust behavior to social context.
27. Hippocampus and parahippocampal gyrus: the memory structures
• regulates information coming to the neocortex.
• Involved in memory, learning, long-term memories, and retrieval of information.
• Builds cognitive maps of individual in relation to time, place, and past and present experiences.
• Assigns the time and place to an event.
28. Septal nuclei: Quiets and dampens down responses of rage.
• Involves in socialization and development of enduring emotional attachments.
• Regulates hippocampal memory related activity.
• Involved in pleasure and reward
