regions of the brain
This region of the brain fine-tunes coordination, balance, and posture, with intricate cross-talk between them for precise motor control
What are the Cerebral Hemispheres
this part of the brain stem is responsible for causing sleepo
What is Reticular Formation
A mild TBI that temporarily affects brain cells, often resulting from a blow to the head.
What is a concussion
A complex network of interconnected nuclei throughout the brainstem
What is Reticular Formation
this region of the brain contains the Thalamus, hypothalamus, and epithalamus.
What is Diencephalon
Consistently getting insufficient sleep impairs cognitive functions like memory recall, attention, and the ability to process new information
What is sleep deprivation
this brain injury is called a mini stroke as it has contralateral symptoms of a full stroke and is often a precursor to a stroke
What is a TIA
Erratic breathing may be caused by this part of the brain stem being damaged
What is Pons
This region of the brain contains the Mid Brain, pons and the medulla oblongata
What is the Brain Stem
Research suggests that one brain hemisphere often begins its transition to sleep before the other, typically the left.
What is the left brain hemisphere

Produced by the pineal gland, this hormone increases with darkness, signaling to your body that it's time to sleep
What is melatonin
This brain injury causes swelling from an inflammatory response and could compress and kill brain tissue
What is a cerebral edema
This part of the brain helps maintain a normal breathing rhythm
What is Pons
Sensory integration and spatial awareness happen here.
What is the Parietal Lobe
During this active stage of sleep, characterized by intense neural activity, the brain processes and consolidates memories, making learning more effective.
What is REM sleep (REM)
