What is Arbor vitae?

200

It mainly processes and relays sensory information to parts of the cerebral cortex and has a role in regulating arousal.

200

Another name for midbrain

What is mesencephalon?

200
Controls functions that are critical to life. ex: swallowing and breathing.
What is the Brain Stem?
200
Portion of the cerebral cortex that lies in the back of the head and receives information from the visual fields.
What are the occipital lobes?
200
Large band of neural fibers that connect the two hemispheres and also allows to transfer messages between the two of them.
What is the Corpus Callosum?
300
Essential for memory, attention, awareness, thought, language, and consciousness. It is made up of "grey matter."
What is the Cerebral Cortex?
300

ALERTNESS & SLEEP! Sleep and consciousness, allowed to control which sensory signals reach the cerebrum and comes to our conscious attention.

What is the Reticular Formation?

300

Contain pontine nuclei responsible for regulation of movement, breathing, reflexes.

What are the Pons?

The portion of the cerebral cortex that lies at the top of the head going towards the rear, it receives sensory input for body positions and touch.
What are the parietal lobes?
300
Located in the temporal lobe, deals with language comprehension and its expression.
What is Wernicke's Area?
400
Located in both hemispheres of the cortex and is important for controlling voluntary movements.
What is the motor cortex?
400

Area within the brainstem posterior to crus cerebri; neurons work with basal nuclei to control movement.

What is the Substantia nigra?

400
Transmits signals between the spinal cord and the higher parts of the brain, controls autonomic functions such as respiration and your heartbeat.
What is the Medulla?
400
The portion of the cerebral cortex that lies just right behind the forehead, it is involved with speaking and muscle movements. PERSONALITY AND MAKING JUDGEMENTS!!
What are the frontal lobes?

What is Broca's Area?
500
Production of hormones and is part of the endocrine system.
What is the pituitary gland?

The roof of the midbrain, composed of colliculi, which is responsible for processing sensory information, from the eyes to the ears.

What is the Tectum?

500

Decussation occurs here

What are the posterior columns within the medulla?

500

They help nourish, support, and protect neurons. "Worker Bees", they also insulate.

What are glial cells?

500
AREAS of the cerebral cortex that do not have any part in primary sensory or motor functions. It is involved with learning, speaking, thinking, and remembering.
