This lobe is responsible for processing auditory information, language comprehension, and memory.
Temporal Lobe
This part of the Diencephalon includes the pineal gland and regulates the sleep-cycle hormones that it secretes
Epithalamus
This segment of the brain stem regulates breathing
Pons
This Cranial Nerve processes your sense of smell
Olfactory
This Injury occurs from violent impacts to the head, particularly when the skull is pierced or fractured and bone fragment penetrate the brain
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
This lobe processes sensory information regarding touch, pain, temperature, and spatial awareness.
Parietal Lobe
This part of the Diencephalon is a relay station for communicating sensory and motor information between the body and the cerebral cortex
Thalamus
This segment of the brain stem regulates heart rate, blood pressure and breathing, and controls the reflexes for coughing, sneezing and vomiting.
Medulla Oblongata
This Cranial Nerve coordinates tongue muscle movements and tongue sensation
Hypoglossal
This disorder is characterized by an inflammation of the meninges surrounding the brain and spinal chord
Meningitis
This lobe manages visual processing, including color, movement, and recognition.
Occipital Lobe
This part of the Diencephalon regulates functions such as metabolism, heart rate, blood pressure, thirst, hunger, energy level, and body temperature
Hypothalamus
This segment of the brain stem serves as a relay station for sensory and motor impulses. Specifically, those concerning vision, hearing, motor activity, sleep and wake cycles, arousal, and temperature regulation
Midbrain
These 3 nerves control and coordinate eye movements in multiple directions
Oculomotor, Trochlear, and Abducens
This is a group of nervous system disorders caused by damage to the brain before or during birth, or in early infancy
Cerebral Palsy
This lobe controls behavior, emotions, planning, reasoning, speech (Broca’s area), and voluntary motor movement.
Frontal Lobe
This part of the Diencephalon also holds the centers for pain and pleasure
Hypothalamus
These are the parts of the Brain stem from most superior to most inferior
This Cranial Nerve communicates autonomic control of your heart, lungs digestion, taste, and communicates between your brain and organs
Vagus
The most common nervous system disorder among the elderly, characterized by tremors, difficulty initiating movements -especially walking- and deficits in coordination
Parkinson's Disease
This part of the brain is a structure located in the back of the brain, containing over 50% of the brain's total neurons. It primarily coordinates voluntary movements, balance, posture, and motor learning.
Cerebellum
This part of the Diencephalon also plays a major role in regulating the body's states of arousal, including sleep, wakefulness, and high-alert consciousness
Thalamus
This is the function of the reticular formation, a collection of grey matter that extends the length of the brain stem
Regulating waking from slumber, as well as heightened states of awareness
This Cranial Nerve coordinates throat muscles and taste
Glossopharyngeal
This disorder is characterized by loss of function in one of two or more areas of cognition including memory, thinking, judgement, behavior, perception, and language
Dementia
