What is the formation of new neurons?

neurgenesis

100

portion of the brain that is at the front and involves making plans and judgments

Frontal Lobe

100

oldest part of the brain and central core

brainstem

100

two lima bean sized neural clusters that are linked to emotions 

amygdala

200

Brains ability to reorganize after damage.

plasticity

200

lying on the top of the head and toward the rear. receives sensory input for touch and body position

parietal lobe

200

base of the brainstem and controls heartbeat and breathing

medulla

200

neural structure lying below the thalamus, it is the maintenance of the brain especially for eating, drinking, and body temperature. 

hypothalamus

300

Areas of the cerebral cortex that is NOT involved in primary motor or sensory functions, instead they are involved in high functions like learning, cognition, remembering, and speaking. 

association areas

300

toward the back of head and includes areas that receive information from the visual fields

occipital lobe

300

brains senory control center

thalamus

300

neural center that helps process for storage of conscious memories of facts and events

hippocampus

400

The bodies ultimate control and information processing center. fabric of neural cells

Cerebral Cortex 

400

is the part that is above the ears and include the auditory areas and comes from the opposite ear

temporal lobe 

400

ner network that travels through the brainstem and into the thalamus

reticular formation

400

neural system that sits between the older parts and cerebral hemisperes

Limbic system 

500

area in the front parietal lobes that registers and processes body touch and movement sensations 

Somatosensory cortex

500

an area at the rear of the frontal lobe that controls voluntary movements

motor cortex

500

called the "little brain" at the rear of the brainstem and processes sensory input, coordinating movement output and balance. 

cerebellum
