1 Brain Structure

2 Brain Stem 3 parts Medulla Oblongata Pons Midbrain

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

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

5 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)

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

7 Corpus Callosum Function Connects the left and right hemispheres brain Is severed surgically to treat patients who suffer from epileptic seizures (Corpus Callosotomy) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6H_1hwlwDk

8 Lobes of Cerebrum Frontal Parietal Occipital Temporal

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

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

11 Occipital Lobe Vision Processes what your eyes are seeing

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