PARTS OF THE BRAIN

Frontal Lobe

• Memory
• Speech
• Emotion
• Planning
• Reasoning

Parietal Lobe

• Tempature
• Taste
• Touch
• Movement

Occipital Lobe

• Vision
• Vision Perception
• Sees color, form, motion

Temporal Lobe

• Emotion
• Language

Cerebellum

• Movement

Brain Stem

• Homeostasis
• Basic body functions

Corpus Callosum

• Connects the right and left hemispheres of the cerebrum

Limbic System

• Effects memory
• Emotion
• Behavior

Pineal Gland

• Sees if it’s dark or bright if you close your eyes then sends information to your brain

Hypothalamus

• Produces hormones that control body tempature, heart rate, and hunger.

Amygdala

• Detects fearful and threatening things

Hippocampus

• Learning
• Memory

Cranial Nerve

• Sensation
• Movement

Pons

• Respiratory rhythm of breathing

Basal ganglia

• Integration
• Selection of voluntary behavior

Forebrain

• Thinking
• Producing and understanding language

Mid brain

• Motor movements
• Movements of eye

PARAHIPPOCAMPAL GYRUS (IN LIMBIC SYSTEM)

• Provides path for communication between cortical association areas and hippocampus

Cingulate gyrus

• Functions in emotion and behavior

Broca’s Area

• Speech

Sensory Cortex

• Pain
• Heat
• Other sensations

Wernicke’s area

• Speech compehension

Central Sulcus

• Separates parietal and frontal lobe

Premotor cortex

• Involved in selection of appropriate motor plans for voluntary movements

Supplementary Motor area

• Responsible for planning of complex movements of contralateral extremities but is ispsilateral planning to small effect
