Miscellaneous
100
comprised of the hindbrain and midbrain. Contains structures including medulla, the pons and the reticular formation
What is brain stem
100
Receives sensory signal from the spinal cord and sends them to other parts of the fore brain, except smell. AKA "switchboard" of the brain
What is Thalamus
100
involved in planning, self-talk, priority, empathy, time regulation, impulse control, long-term goals,and social regulatory
What is prefrontal cortex?
100
involved in abstract thought and emotional control. Priority, planning, personality, and social regulator
What is Frontal Lobe?
100
divide between the two hemispheres of the brain. Prevents seizures from spreading to the other side of the brain.
What is Corpus callosum?
200
involved in control of blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing
What is Medulla
200
Controls and regulates the 4 F's:fighting, fleeing, feeding and mating. Also, controls the endocrine system and blood chemistry
What is Hypothalamus?
200
Tells the body to move. Located in the frontal lobe
What is Motor cortex?
200
Receives incoming touch sensations from the body.
What is parietal lobe?
200
Area involved in understanding and comprehension of sound
What is Wernicke`s Area?
300
involved in facial expressions and sleep and wake cycles
What are pons
300
Involved in processing of short-term memory
What is Hippocampus?
300
Located in parietal lobe. Deals with touch sensations.
What is Sensory cortex?
300
interprets information from our eyes.
What is occipital lobe?
300
Area involved in production of speech
What is Broca`s Area?
400
coordinates voluntary muscle movement and balance
What is cerebellum
400
Involved in telling the body to produce norepinephrine (adrenaline). more involved in emotions such as anger
What is Amygdala?
400
Located in the occipital lobe. Processing center for visual stimuli.
What is visual cortex?
400
Processes sounds sensed by ears on both sides, which is interpreted in the auditory cortex.
What is Temporal lobe?
400
Involved in changing visual symbols in sound.
What is Angular gyrus?
500
Affects arousal, consciousness, and selective attention
What is Reticular Formation (RAS)
500
master gland. secretes growth hormones
What is Pituitary gland?
500
Located in the temporal lobe. Deals with processing sounds.
What is Auditory cortex?
500
BONUS 2X POINTS (not a lobe) The central nervous system's information highway connecting the peripheral nervous system to the brain.
What is spinal cord?
500
BONUS 2X POINTS Area involved in long-term memory storage.
What is Association Area?
