Brain Structure

Brain Stem 3 parts Medulla Oblongata Pons Midbrain

Brain Stem Functions Visual and auditory reflexes Relays sensory impulse Controls vital visceral functions Heartbeat Respiratory Vasomotor Digestion

Cerebellum (Little Brain) Function Sensing posture and balance Coordinates muscle movements

Diencephalon 2 parts Hypothalamus Thalamus Functions: Receives ALL sensory input and relays to cerebral cortex for interpretation Homeostasis regulation: Temperature (Hypothalamus) Emotional Responses (limbic system)

Cerebrum Functions Higher brain functions Memory Reasoning Intelligence Personality Voluntary muscles movements

Corpus Callosum Function Connects the left and right hemispheres brain Is severed surgically to treat patients who suffer from epileptic seizures (Corpus Callosotomy)

Lobes of Cerebrum Frontal Parietal Occipital Temporal

Frontal Lobe Reasoning Planning Problem Solving Emotions Parts of Speech and Movement

Parietal Lobe Perception of stimuli related to: Touch Pressure Temperature Pain Smell

Occipital Lobe Vision Processes what your eyes are seeing

Temporal Lobe Perception and recognition of auditory stimuli Memory (hippocampus) If damaged long-term memory is impaired
