Divisions of the brain (5)
1. Cerebrum/ Neocortex
2. Thalamus and Hypothalamus
3. Midbrain
4. Pons and Cerebellum
5. Medulla Oblongata
Cerebrum can be divided into four lobes which are?
Frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal.
Functions of the thalamus
It is a relay/integration center for sensory input to the cerebrum.
Functions of the hypothalamus
Plays an important role in most behavior that is necessary for survival and reproduction.
EX) homeostasis, autonomic function, endocrine system, etc
Functions of the cerebellum
Important for motor learning, execution, and coordination
Functions of the midbrain, pons, and medulla (collectively called the brain stem)
Involved in posture, equilibrium, reflexes, homeostasis, respiration, cardiovascular
regulation, and cortical modulation.
Somatomotor cortex
Motor function
Somatosensory cortex
Sensory function
Frontal lobe
Higher order functions (thinking/personality)
Temporal lobe
Learning memory, and emotion
Parietal lobe
Sensory integration
Occipital lobe
Vision
Cerebellum
Motor function
Central sulcus
Between pre central gyrus and post central gyrus
Lateral cerebral sulcus
Corpus callosum
Connection between right and left cerebral hemispheres
Body of fornix
Connection between hippocampus and many limbic structures
Thalamus
Sensory input to cerebrum (midbrain)
Hypothalamus
