exam: covers everything we covered up till today
Corpus collasm : millions of while bundles that sends signal from the right brain to the
left brain, and left signal to right.
People can’t function without the corpus collosum
Hind brain:
cerebellum: fine motor movement/ helps with balance (typing on the keyboard or
writing)
Reticular formation: controls arousal (a experiment did on cat, cat sleeps and
when called wakes up, but when cut their reticular formation they never wake up)
-Medulla
controls heart rate, blood circulation, breathibg
-Pons:
takes info from the cerebellum to the rest of the brain/ body
Mid brain:
substantia ingrained: where dopamine is made
Ventral tegumental area (VTA): reward, cognition, motivation and aversion
Raphe nuclei: serotonin
Locus code rules: where norepinephrine is made
Forebrain
has the executive functioning: has to do with planning, organization, judgement,
attention, and reasoning
Primary motor cortex: generate signals to direct the movement of the body
Prefrontal cortex:
